Opus - here's what I did:

Oracle 7.3.3 for hpux 10.20...
as root:

0) pfs_mount the cd
1) create oracle id, dba group id
2) create filesystems, mount points, change permissions to oracle/dba

exit out as root - login as oracle 3) ./orainst 4) from the menu/choices - Install New Database & pick bunch of things from list 5) answer questions about passwords, where to place files, etc... 6) finally done - check log file - it's empty...(useless?) exit install login as root 7) run root.sh script 8) midway in script - it asks that oracle be stopped, then hit enter 9) open another window, ps -ef | grep ora, kill ora processes 10) hit enter - root.sh finishes up 11) done

Since I am new to oracle, I don't quite know what's next, other than to try svrgmrl, connect internal, startup (?)
But I get an error - "cannot open parameter file ...initSID.ora" If I try lsnrctl start, I get error: "...incorrectly specified param in listener.ora"

I looked in a book and created the 2 /etc files from some example. I noticed that /etc/services doesn't have port 1521 listing...is that used for listener? or is it only for Multi-Threaded Oracle?

Thanks
