[Cooker] 8.0 Beta and Oracle9i

2001-03-19 Thread Lonnie Cumberland 

Hello All,

I just wanted to let you all know that I have very large problems trying to get
the Oracle9i, which I downloaded from Oracle and is about 1.4Gig in size, to
install. 

I was never able to do it because Jave would complain about threads and crash
out.

Finally I had to back my distribution down to Linux 7.2 and everything seems to
be much better.

Also, could some one please tell me how to change the permissions of a group
and user that I created for Oracle called "oinstall" (group) and "oracle"
(user) such that they have root permissions and are able to make changes to the
/etc directory?

Oracle needs this account only for install purposes, but also needs it to have
root level permissions.

Cheers,
Lonnie

Cause you're supporting Oracle and not photopaint ? Surely a subtile
licence issue i didn't caught.

Oracle is mainly because it is a kernel|glibc|gcc problem in our(my)
side, photopaint is something because of the pacakging of the
applications.
