You're a brave man to stand straight like that with the guns pointed... ;-) I think one needs to be very determined to go and uninstall packages after installing Oracle (which AFAIK includes a check on whether you have the proper stuff installed). It's tedious with YAST to say the least, and your suggestion that I'd have to re-install stuff to apply maintenance does not really help. Doing the Oracle install with the GUI over a ssh -X connection to a remote system was far from pleasant. It seems to me that it would be helpful to be able to do the installation with an ncurses client and maybe even a response file. Alternatively, get the web server up early and drive the process through that. -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
