I read both documents that you refer to for installing Oracle 8.0.5 for
Linux on FreeBSD.

http://www.scc.nl/~marcel/howto-oracle.html
http://www.lf.net/lf/pi/oracle/install-linux-oracle-on-freebsd
I believe that I have everything setup correctly.  My problem is that when
I'm in the Oracle installer, I can't seem to "select" installation options.
Example, the screen may show several options, and when I use the arrow keys
to try to make a selection it skips over some of the options.  I'm
relatively new to linux/freebsd so I may not have things set up correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sid Keller


I believe that I found the solution.  Maybe it was obvious to everyone
except me but I believe you have to do the installation under xwindows.
Since I hardly ever use xwindows I never tried.  I think that the two
articles mentioned above are great, and I know that I could never get Oracle
installed without them, but I wish that this point would have been made more
clearly.  

Thanks,

Sid Keller
