I read the prerequesites and the initial steps for a linux install. Since I am stuck at the very beginning I did not read very far : I usually read stuff while doing the installation :)

This time, I'll go back on the oracle website ad try to grab something else.

thx for your help, I'll go there and report here, of my failure or success :) Received on Sat Jun 25 2005 - 18:13:24 CDT
