Morning Guido,

I've just installed Oracle 9i release 2 Enterprise Edition on Mandrake 9.0.
Standard Kernel - can't remember what version off hand as I have to use Windows at work.
Standard GCC and GLIBC etc.

All I had to do was set some parameters for kernel in
/proc/sys/kernel/sem and /proc/sys/fs/file-max and
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/some_file_or_other and set this up in /etc/rc.local
to be done every reboot.

I didn't have to install any Java run times - I just let the installer use the versions it had on the Oracle Cds.

Easy peasy.

Cheers,
Norman.

Hi out there !

I am still wondering, why the heck oracle 8i/9i shouldn't run on any Linux, preferably Debian, Gentoo, RedHat 8.0 download edition ?
