Re: [Oracle 8.0.5 and SuSE6.1] Install success

[Quoted] [Quoted] Congratulations on what you've done so far. I had it a bit easier installing onto RH 6.0: loaded the required compatibility rpms from the cd, created my oracle user and dba group,
downloaded the umpteen tar files,
unzip/tared them and ran orainst,
downloaded the glibzpatch, untarred that and ran it to replace the make files and relink,
and finally fired up orainst to creat my db. Whew!
Then I tried to install the web server.
[Quoted] TILT!! According to Oracle Support, this only runs with the old (RH5.2) kernel.
Damn and blast.
I'm still looking and hoping (this was only over this past week), but past experience with Oracle makes me fear.

So --- If you get it working, would you let me know? Matt wrote in message <378BC8E8.A3412EC6_at_csi.com>...
