This installation is really realy strange and painful. I have done several Oracle9i and Oracle10g installations on HP UNIX without any problems, but Oracle 8.1.6 installation has tendency to hang/freeze. I was succesful in getting passed my original error by changing jvm heap size parameters in oraparm.ini. Now installtion freezes on some other screen. no error message is generated in install log file, just keep waiting and waiting. Received on Wed Jul 05 2006 - 21:06:48 CDT
