I got 8i to work on Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 - Thank you!

Thank you, Jonathan, my 8i is happy now. After a burnout weekend and an extra day I got it to work on my laptop running
Caldera 2.2

I'll try to find some time and post the entire installation procedure on my website. I will post the URL on this newsgroup when the page is ready.

 I can't help you on question 1.

 I tried the same thing using Caldera 2.3, and I still got  errors when I applied the patch. I ended up installing Red  Hat 6.0, Reinstalling oracle, and reapplying the patch.  Everything worked fine using Red Hat. I believe Oracle only  certifies 8i for Red Hat.

 I don't recall getting the message about relinking the  Intelligent Agent executables after switching to Red Hat.  It's possible that I did. I just don't remember.

 Hope thishelps,

 Jonathan
