I have been working with installing Oracle 7.3.x on Linux - it seems that I now have a working method (mostly inspired by Roland van Hout on the ibcs list):
to the directory where you placed the content of the CD/the files from
www.oracle.com. Set ORACLE_TERM=vt100 and ORACLE_SID=
<a four letter word like orcl or test>. Include $ORACLE_HOME/bin
in PATH.
8. In $ORACLE_HOME/dbs create init<$ORACLE_SID>.ora from
init.ora and edit it to fit your needs. Ie. if ORACLE_SID is orcl, the
parameter file should be initorcl.ora.
9. Log out and log in as oracle - this way you can 'connect internal' in
svrmgrl
10. Now you can start svrmgrl (the one that used to be called sqldba).
11. In svrmgrl you 'CONNECT INTERNAL' the response should be
something like 'connected to an idle instance'.
12. Now 'STARTUP NOMOUNT' - this gives some lines of status
info.
13. Finally 'CREATE DATABASE' in some modification; here you'll
need some documentation to get the details; saying just create database
will work, but it creates a small default database - about 5Mb.
This is as far as I've got till now - I havent had the time to
experiment
any further. The next thing I'll have to do is run (from svrmgrl) the
catalog.sql, catproc.sql and others from $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

- while you're here, why not take a look
at a href="http://www.image.dk/~jan_p_a If you want to reply to me, my electronic address is ndjan and the server part of it is nord-data-detail.dk. Or you can use jan_p_a with server part = image.dk This rather 'circumvented' explanation is meant to avoid automatic spammers that browse the news groups. I hope it works -----------------------------------------
