Hi Vimal,

Thanks for the info.

Rebooting doesn't seem to have any effect. In fact the first thing I do after startup is to run the installer (after starting an X11 session of course).

The annoying thing is that untypically 9iR2 installed into Windows NT like a dream...(but I don't run my production stuff on NT!)

If I have to upgrade to RH73 then so be it, but it should not be impossible to get it to work on RH72 (????)

Best regards,
