For the past couple of weeks I have been learning how Linux works. I bought
a new machine to run it on, and went through quite a lot getting xwindows to
work.
Well now I have Xwindows working, I have the network up. I'm a little more
familiar with mounting drives, navigating, et cetera.
I have three questions that I can't seem to figure out. One seems like it
should be simple.
- I have a share on Win2000 machine that I want to 'map to', but I don't
have a clue how. (I've been ftping stuff around).
- I am trying to install Oracle 8i on my Linux 7.1 machine. The install
instructions talk about backward compatibility issues and recommends three
files: compat-glibc-6.2.1.3.2.src.rpm, compat-libs-6.2..., and
compat-egcs-6.2. Anyway, I downloaded them... ftp'ed them over to my linux
machine, and when I double click them in xwindows it says "install of 1
packages failed". Is anybody familiar with this?
- This Oracle install is killing me. I am installing it for a Database
class I am taking, and I think I will be through the class before I get it
up and running. I moved everything into an install directory under
ORACLE_HOME, and when I run './runInstaller' it says "Intializing Java
Virtual Machine from ../stage/components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/
DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. please wait..." and it sits this way. Any
info on this would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for any time you put into reading/answering this,
James
