Boored to have problems under SuSE 6.0 I decided to buy SuSE 6.2.

I downloaded all patches as described in www.suse.com

Oratab file created. Pre installation libs installed...

but now I got a problem I don't understand

While installing RDBMS I got this message:

There are still sgadef<SID>.dbf file(s) in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/dbs/). This indicates that there may still be running instances. You must shut down all database instances associated with this ORACLE_HOME before upgrading the Server. Select (Yes) if you have shut down the instances from another terminal/window. Select (No) to abort the installation.

It's impossible I got a instance running because this is the first one installation.

The directory $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ doesn't exist (I also tryed to create one but the problem
persists)

Now what can I do ??? Put oracle CD in the WC? Read tons of docs before install the pachage?

Please help me to find a solution. Received on Tue Oct 26 1999 - 06:00:35 CDT
