Actually, there have another alternative. You can start up the satabase using database manager with 'No PL/SQL' mode. And then run the install2.sql script. Anyway, you can run it with PL/SQL option on 8M RAM if you have enough swap space. For me, I'm useing a Cryix 486 40 CPU, 8M RAM, and 19M permanet virtural memory. I can install the PO7 without any error. Try it! -
