(Linux guys have sco_libs on their ftp servers, I forgott where, may be on Oracle site in Australia) 3. copy entire directory structure (/usr/oracle7) with all permissions to FreeBSD. (create appropriative users) 4. Copy startup scripts and /etc/oratab (be carefull with permissions) 5. Try to run. > Few days ago, somebody (may be Jordan ?) say, that he know peoples, which do this.
