Re: Minimum hardware requirements for Oracle 9i

I tried it on a 256M linux machine and it kept hanging even though there was plenty of swap space. Of course, it could have been some other problem, but adding more memory seemed to fix it.

My point was more about an installer (which after all just copies files around) that requires as much memory as a database server that can support 10s/100s of users!
