Re: Installing Oracle 8i for Linux

Okay, this is wha I did so far then,

oracle_at_linux:/cdrom/install/linux > ls -l ./runInstaller -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 26233 Aug 2 1999 ./runInstaller

oracle_at_linux:/cdrom/install/linux > chmod 777 runInstaller chmod: runInstaller: Read-only file system

oracle_at_linux:/cdrom/install/linux > file ./runInstaller ./runInstaller: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically d

Now what do I do? its still not working!
