Use the same user (the one you previously installed with). You can switch environments neat in quickly on Unix(-like) boxes.
Just wonder why you want 816? It's not supported anymore, and just minor changes awat from 817 you already have?

Grtz, Frank
BTW - you could make the new install user member of the same group (oinstall?), and change permissions on the oui invetory directory. Received on Wed Dec 04 2002 - 21:41:32 CET
