Re: oracle/linux installation quickie questions

1. How big getīs your Oracle SGA? Normaly the default for shared memory segments is large enough (i think 64M)
2. There is no need for all the mount-points, all you need is a Directory for ORACLE_HOME like /opt/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.0.5 ->performance grows if you can distribute your database to different disks

By the way, what linux-distribution do you use?
