You were *extremely* lucky that you were doing a (presumably) vanilla install.. I've installed Oracle on several machines (with a previous employer) and have faced the downright irritating install process, including inexcusable broken Makefiles. If you're going to sell software to Unix people, make sure everything works under Unix -- and that, I think, is the point Peter was trying to make in his post. I will say, though, that once Oracle works (which *can* take a while), it is a terribly fine database engine. -- Steve McDowell . . . . o o o o o Opinions are Exlog, Inc. _____ o mine, not my mcdowell@exlog.com _____==== ]OO|_n_n__][. employers..
