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 C=E9dric Jonas
