If any body could shed some light how to do that. here is my problem: I have a project kicking freebsd 7.0 using tftp, i have successfully done it on vmware, every thing works fine as expected. but when i am kicking scale out tftp not calling rest of the files after 'pxeboot', in contrary i can see vmware pulling pxeboot and then config files and then kernel. with scale out it's just stops at pxeboot. i am looking at the logs of tftp servers. Scale out is remotely located, and if i can't find solution i would have to drive to far away :-(. another problem is com2 redirection, but i think it's not even getting to that point. So, here is the question if any one have had any experiences with freebsd and rackables scale outs, please share your experiences.

We run Oracle XE on two FreeBSD 6.3 machines at work - we've just manually set it up, but are very interested in a port of it. We did the same as you basically - just uncompress it and move the files in place. Regards, -- Rink P.W. Springer - http://rink.nu "Anyway boys, this is America.

I've worked on such a port (probably that's what ady is referring to) but kinda' lost my interest in it ($REALLIFE got in the way). I'll try to find it (it was about 80% done) but I'm not sure it survived the clean-up sessions of my tmp/work dir (I don't know why I didn't ci it in our cvs ...). I'll work with Ady if he need help.

I can give you one business case: During election observation mission in 2007 an Oracle XE installation I've had (just for test) on my FreeBSD notebook saved my (election) day and allowed me to analyze and verify election results - and this is a Big Thing(tm). > 3) Oracle EE / SE editions are indeed the big guns on the enterprise > database market, but until there are some more steps.

Fortunately XE does not need one at all.
