Ooops. I forgot about man. But man ulimit reminds me I am a Chelsea supporter. And anyway: who writes man pages? A dyslexic Professor of Cunning at Fox University?

Now this one has gotten interesting. I was reading a guy's webpage on doing a RH install of 9i (I posted the link elsewhere yesterday). He says that it isn't necessary to install Blackdown Java before installing Oracle, and that indeed doing so can break things. So I deinstalled Oracle completely, removed the Blackdown install, re-installed perfectly OK, and set to work.
The invalid entry size error only now appears when creating a database using the 'Transaction Processing' template, whereas before it appeared whatever template I chose.
And when I create a Repository Database for EM, it still fails doing the 'typical' stuff, because that uses the -you guessed it!- Transaction Processing template.
But, the good news is that pre-creating a 'General' database, I no longer get the segmentation fault I was getting when trying to connect to the pre-existing database.
So yes, it appears that many of my problems go away if I don't install Blackdown first. But now I'm confused, because the doco. says Blackdown is needed for the http server; and without Blackdown, I don't know what to set JAVA_HOME to: I'm guessing /usr/bin/java at the moment.
I'm also now getting that old familiar feeling of a 'dirty install', so familiar to Windows users after installing something that makes a billion changes to one's registry. I'm still encountering odd problems (such as setting preferred credentials in EM for the node and the database... and them disappearing on me the minute I click OK), and I have this nagging feeling that it all might work perfectly if only I installed onto a virgin Linux install.
But I have two databases, EM mostly working, and I might just leave it at that. On the other hand, I feel Google beckoning!
Thanks again Norman for the hand-holding.
Regards
HJR
