Re: Help with Oracle 8.0.5 installation!

Gabriele,

Try setting the TERM variable to vt100. This one seems to work in most situations.

  set TERM=vt100; export TERM

You can also look on the distribution media to find out which terminals are supported. Look for the tk2{TERM}.res files where {TERM} is a substituted value.

HTH,
Brian
