It survived the installation of the Oracle designer repository from a Win95 machine, while a make buildworld was running :-) NOOT: The kernel did *not* have the Linux thread commits by Julian Elischer. That is going to be tested next. Two issues remain: 1. An Oracle installation script had to be patched. Soren is/was looking at it. 2. The Linux_lib and Linux_devel ports cannot be used out of the box (I currently have Redhat packages installed). This should not be too hard to solve. The following PRs apply to running Oracle: 9082: see quoted text 9154: unimplemented syscall in linux emulator If the PRs can be looked at and the patches committed, I'll test Julians code and post a short HOWTO to the list... marcel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
