Rather surprising; it is very `prerelease'. Plain white CD envelope with a little slip of paper that tells you where to find the README file. Very un-Oracle. :) On the other hand, it came overnight UPS. Someone is on the ball there. I am progressing through an install (this is my first) on a 2.0.35 Linux box as a baseline. When I have this figured out, I will turn back to FreeBSD and attempt to get it working on 3.0. I will probably attempt to run some of the Oracle client stuff (SQL*Plus, tnsping, etc.) on my existing 2.2.7 server within the next two days. -- Allen Campbell | Lurking at the bottom of the allenc@verinet.com | gravity well, getting old.
