Yes, I got that. I have since read the install guides from Haigh, Darlington, Bissett & Salvo.

But, since I'm installing 8i on RedHat 6.1 the most useful guide was the pdf from Oracle's own technical site:
"User Friendly Install Of Oracle8i on Redhat Linux 6.1"

http://technet.oracle.com/tech/linux/htdocs/instal l.pdf

Unfortunatly I still get problems. After adding fvwm2 as my window manager, I can get the Oracle Universal Installer to load and operate.

However, when it comes to Space Requirements it claims:
"Volume /usr/ Required 531 MB : Available Not available"

This is surprising, given that df says:

/dev/hda6 2.99 Gig, 23% used, mounted on /usr

Has similar happened to anyone else? Could you get around it? Any suggestions?
