Thanks to everyone for their opinions. It is reassuring to know I wasn't going crazy. I'm in the process of my 3rd. install...

Try installing Oracle on a Linux box !!! (Try it only if you have a lot of time to spare becuase you are definitely going to need it).

I have actually done so several times - yes it is an experience. If you are forced to go through it, then I recommend the following web page. http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml . I also have a set of notes I did up on the procedure, which flirt heavily with said web page. While by no means an Oracle expert, I have been down this road. cheers j. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ravi T " <ravit29@yahoo.com> To: <ids@iiug.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 6:27 PM Subject: RE: Oracle experience [5478] > Try installing Oracle on a Linux box !!!
