Re: Oracle 7.3 install

In order to succed with the installation, you need to create a user who will eventually "own" the Oracle installation, for instance with the username "oracle"... This needs to be done as the root user.

The UNIX group for this user is assumed to be dba, if not you can either:

1) create this group   or
2) choose an existing group    or
3) create a new group different from dba

In the latter two cases, the Oracle software will be relinked, resulting in a slightly longer installation time.
