Re: Oracle Install Hell on Linux...

This is a copy of an article posted her earlier on this subject. I hope it is helpfull:

Subject: Yet another Oracle on Linux install guide From: Michael Cannon <michael_at_virgointernet.com> Date: 2000/08/30
Newsgroups: comp.databases.oracle.server With some recent difficulties for my Oracle 8.1.5 and 8.1.6 installs, I've
been looking for tips and tricks. I thought, I'd pass on the good words I've
found...

Here's one from LinuxWorld
http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-2000-04/lw-04-oracle8i_p.html

And another from OraLinux
http://www.oralinux.com/rh61-815.html

I'm still looking for a document called "User Friendly Install Guide For Oracle8i 8.1.5.0.0 on Linux" supposedly on Technet. If anybody knows its whereabouts, please let me know or post the link.

Thank you,

Michael

Goodluck,
BertJan Meinders
