RE: [newbie] Linux on Oracle
The mount points are in support of Oracle's OFA, and not a requirement. You can have just a single mount point if you like. In my case I've just created a single mount point of /db ... in fact my first installation just did a mkdir off of root for /db. I've since changed to a whole new drive and mount for it.

I just created a /oracle mountpoint off of / and let the installer do it's stuff. a few words of advice - 1- the 8.1.6 installer has problems when running under kde. Do yourself a favor and use a different window manager for the install. 2 - when creating your database, allow dbassist to creat a script, then exit all window managers and run the script. The database creation phase of the install is very memory intensive, and can use all the ram you can get. 3 - go th http://www.orasoft.org and grab all of the goodies.

I did have to upgrade to 128M to do the install however. Once installed, it ran acceptably in 96M. I did not try running in anything less than 96. -- D.M.(Mike) Mattix [EMAIL PROTECTED] (with a 128MB 200MHz Pentium to try this on...) The machine I installed 8.1.6 on was a P III 450 with 128M. The install took a bit over an hour, database creation took about 3 hours. -- Alex (Go easy on me, I'm a COBOL programmer in real life)
