Re: Installing Oracle using Sol817_000920_rel.cpio

Thanks for the info Joe. But, I don't have the Solaris box connected to the network, and my swap space is only 384. So I would rather be able to have all of the Oracle installation files on CDROMs. Do you (or anyone else) know of a way to accomplish this?

Maybe there is another place on the Internet where I can download a 2 disk version of the installation programs?

Thanks,
Jack
