Hello, Which version of Oracle are you trying to install? There are different issues with different versions. Do you install from cd or a staging area? Have you followed all the pre-installation steps, eg. creating a dba group etc? An Oracle install under any unix is a pain to say the least, but you must follow the instructions and it ccan work. regards, Willem On Wed, 22 Oct 2003, Kumar wrote: > Dear Friends, > > > I am a Linux newbie.
