Re: HELP!! Install Oracle8i on Solaris 7

You need to remove and create filesystems to do that. Oracle officially requires 4 mountpoints on different disks. Solaris wise it should not be a problem to create all those file systems on one disk, however, I strongly advise against that.
1.5 Gb for software is overkill. 500Mb should be sufficient.
