8i asks you if you want to run the 'optional' utlities during the
installation. DON'T! Run them by hand after the install works
It seems tbe universal installer is not very good at spawning other java
apps and it hangs a lot in attempting to run dbca while universal installer
is already running.
You could use suse 7.x, and oracle 9i. Suse Linux is Oracle's supported
platform for 9i. (I guess they are mad at RedHat- who knows) Suse has an
excellent oracle guide (http://www.suse.com/us/support/oracle/index.html)
that walks you through the users/groups/directories/ etc. No hunting around
on the web -it's all right there.
If you do go to 9i, it asks if you want to create a database during the
install - DON'T! Same problem as above...
