I'll get it right this time, and not hit the ENTER key too early! Apologies:

Would anyone care to enlighten a poor Windows user on how to go about making the kernel parameter changes you need to make on a Linux box before installing Oracle a permanent fixture of the kernel?

In other words, for installation, I do the following one-off exercise:

cd /proc/sys/kernel

echo 250 32000 100 128 > sem

echo 33554432 > shmmax

echo 4096 > shmmni

And installation proceeds smoothly accordingly. But how to make the change permanent? In the deepest recesses of my brain, the words ".profile" are stirring into life, but not sure if that's really the way to do it (or whose profile to alter if so, so that the settings are made system-wide).

Treat me gently in any reply: it's all I can do to remember that the slashes go the wrong way round.

;-)

Regards

HJR
