I have made some progress since my first post. I installed JDK1.1.8_v3 separately and copied some files manually when the installer asked for them. That allowed most of the install to continue.

The Database Configuration Manager kept quitting with end_of_file communication errors, so I am unable to create a database - so far. I have just restarted the dbca again and asked it to create a "new" database instead of one of the pre-configured ones. I am up to 93% - fingers crossed. Even if it works, I doubt that I would ever trust it.

If it does not work, I will try Slackware. Why not! Thank you for your advice. Received on Thu Aug 08 2002 - 18:13:12 CDT
