Have a nice day. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Oracle 9i on FreeBSD 4.7-Stable Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 08:18:02 +0100 From: Roberto Nunnari To: Roberto Nunnari , Georg.Koltermann@mscsoftware.com References: <3E36A004.7050705@die.supsi.ch> Hi all. I just want to tell a success story. I managed to run Oracle 9i on a FreeBSD 5.0-Release box. The steps were as follows: - install Oracle 9i on a Linux RedHat 7.2 box - copy the whole thing on the FreeBSD box - apply the kernel patches supplied by Georg.Koltermann@mscsoftware.com - tune the kernel as stated in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-oracle.html but using the values specified by Oracle for 9i - install the modified kernel - run it! Watch out.. I didn't test it yet... but it started normally without any error/warning and I can connect from a windows box using Oracle DBA Studio.. I'll report more later after some tests.. Thanks to all who replied and especially to Georg Kolterman Best regards.
