Sorry, I appreciate your helping me. The exact explanation of how your correct answer fell through the cracks is as follows - your response was:

I pursued the second one, but there was no such change_perm.sh:

04~/product/10.2.0/Db_1/install>cd $ORACLE_HOME/install
04~/product/10.2.0/Db_1/install>find . -name change\*
04~/product/10.2.0/Db_1/install>

I guess I freudianly overlooked the first one because: - it seemed too scary
- I still can't understand how it didn't happen, because the install   script waits for that step to be completed before proceeding. I guess   I must have become sidetracked while finding a root window and forgot ...

Seeing as I got two high-quality answers to run the root.sh script, I am embolden to do so. Received on Thu Jun 07 2007 - 04:42:31 CDT
