Xref: newssvr20.news.prodigy.com comp.databases.oracle.misc:133015 Morning Fred, there is an excellent downloadable white paper at http://www.dizwell.com/ which will lead you step by step through installing Oracle on Red Hat 9. I'm sure that the process is the same for RH 7. The author, Howard J Rogers, is a fairly recent convert to Linux and is an Oracle trainer in a past life as well. For these reasons, it is a 7 MB download. Hope you've got broadband ! The paper tells you how to install and create your first Oracle database on Linux. Enjoy. HTH Cheers, Norm. PS.
