Hi, You do not have a /opt filesystem. If a directory /opt is created without any other steps first, It will be created in /. You should be able to do the following: mkdir /home/opt cd / ln -s /home/opt /opt This will create a link called /opt which actualy refers to /home/opt. Your /home filesystem has lots of space. hth Willem On Wed, 11 Feb 2004, Teja wrote: > I am having a strange problem with installing DB2 udb 8.1 on RH 7.1 version.
