The best I get up to now is "lost connection" :-( Awhile back I came across PR docs/42058 (Installing Oracle 8i onto FreeBSD). I haven't had time to actually try this, but based on doing a recent install of Oracle8i on RedHat 7.x (.2 I think) it looks about right. You can find a complete version of the how to at : http://iamphet.fromru.com/linuxemu-oracle8i.html Note that this doc talks about doing the install on 4.5-R, so you may have to dig up some of the older linux emu packages. -Joseph To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
