Hi!

I'm trying to install Oracle8 from CD but I can't run any .sh files. I have installed Oracle on severel other Unix dialects, but this one beats me :)
Below is an example of me trying to run oratab.sh as root. The same error occurs when I try to run orainst.sh as the oracle8 user...

Any help most appreciated!!!
