Hi,

The Oracle 10g installation fails because there are some Linux system calls=
 which aren't implemented in the actual Linux emulation. However, there's h=
ard work in CURRENT to update the Linux emulation...=20
Oracle 9i will run (if you don't need iSQL*Plus), but if you need absolutel=
y Oracle 10g now, I think the best solution is to install it on a Debian bo=
x, and to keep a look on the evolution of the Linux emulation...

--=20
Best regards,=20
