Re: Installing Oracle 8i on Linux 6.1

I've had success in installing O8I on RH 6.

The most important thing ...is READ THE INSTRUCTIONS .. they are under index.html in the Oracle 8 distrubition. Some parts of the installation has to be made 'by hand'. (Creating some new symbols, adding a few things to PATH etc)

The second most important thing is to have a (for O8I) working JRE installed on your machine. I think the manual says JRE 1.6, but I did it with JRE 1.7, and it worked smooth... and .. don't forget the path to the JRE too ........

good luck !
