Re: Oracle install on Linux "hangs" while setup of Net8 Config Assistant

Hello Tom,

The default script root.sh has actually 2 errors. Edit it as following :

1. change the line with : RMF=/usr/bin/rm -f to RMF="/usr/bin/rm -f"
2. on the line wich says : RUID=.... put a single quote just before the last back-quote.

This should fix your problem.

Regards.
Sam
