Re: [Plug] Oracle on linux


I've installed Oracle 8.0.5 twice on plain vanilla RedHat 5.2 with no
problems.  Just yesterday I succeeded in installing 8.1.5.1 on
my plain vanilla RedHat 6.0 box.  It did take a few quirky
'workarounds' to their instructions.  But in the end I was able to
use SQL*PLUS and connect to the sample database.  I haven't truly
tested the installation to make sure it works, though.

You will need both the 8.1.5 CD/download *and* the 6MB 8.1.5.1
patch.

Also, don't even *think* about trying to install without 128MB.  The
(Java-based) installer hit a max of about 150MB used, with other
Oracle-related processes taking up another 40MB.  It was hitting
my swap a bit more than I would have liked.
