Oracle 8.1.6 on Linux RH

Hello, Do you know where this documentation may be? Thanks, Tyler I'll simply add, having watched several people bloody themselves horribly trying to get O8i on an RH 6.1 system, that the installation is broken for RH itself. There is apparently 3rd party documentation which fills in where Ora

installing 2.1 in vmware

I am trying to install v2.1 in VMWare and everything works fine until I have to partition my virtual disk. I get error messages, and I want to make sure I am not going to destroy my physical disk when it asks me to format /dev/hda. Does it think the virtual partiton is /dev/hda or will it axe my wh

Hello, Could some kind soul please explain something I've never really figured out: how to make devices under /dev. Like today I tried to set up my scanner, but as there are no /dev/scanner (which is I think supposed to be a link) or /dev/sg* SANE can't detect anything. "MAKEDEV" says it doesn

Printing Failure

I'm running into a problem with the printer lately. Nothing is printing out, and it doesn't appear I'm getting any real error messages. I'm using lprng and magicfilter with an Epson 740. I did have to create a new filter to use the new .upp files I tracked down over the internet. --- /etc/print

RE: unable to unmount

Title: RE: unable to unmount Your problem is that you exported the CDROM with nfsd, and thus nfsd is still accessing it, even if nobody accesses your machine through nfs. Just comment the line which exports your CDROM in /etc/exports, then issue "exportfs -ua", then "exportfs -a" . This shoul

Re: ATA 66 support in Debian

Hi Petr! I found a similar problem! I was using my Maxtor on the mother board IDE with a normal cable and all was well. I later changed the disk to the secondary mother board IDE channel and installed an 80 pin cable to use at UDMA 66. The boot messages indicated that UDMA 33 was still being use
