Mark, You can install on a P4, but you may have to do the workaround on metastink. Let me know if you don't have access to metastink cuz I can send you this work around.

Unfortunatley I don't have access to MegaW@*k, so can't check for anything like this. Do you know if the case is simply: You CANNOT install 9i on a P4 - at all.. say no more.. full stop..? Is the a "way around" or not? Cheers for your help Mark -----Original Message----- Sent: 12 November 2001 14:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I believe this is a "known bug" where OUI does NOT run on a P4. You might want to check MetaStink.
