 My problem turned out to be the 800x600 res, 24-bit color screen settings I had chosen during the Solaris install. When I went to 1024x768 and 8-bit, orainst /m worked. Probably some bad term settings. BTW: orainst /c only allowed me to install the Unixware version of Oracle, not the Solaris product (even though the .prd file was in the same directory as the Unixware).

P.S. Can someone tell me the default login/password for Enterprise Manager? I can't get past the login screen (except scott/tiger works, but has no admin priviledges). Received on Wed Sep 17 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
