Greetings, I have gotten the linux version of Oracle 8 to work on FreeBSD before (about 1 year ago). If you will kindly search the FreeBSD mail archive, you should be able to find my previous post. Also, go a search on Deja news, (groups.google), there are some how-tos out there from the linux community that contains detailed step-by-step instructions (for a older version of Oracle though). (Below is whatever I can remeber off my head, it has been more than a year since). Basically, you need 1 linux (redhat is the one I used) to run the java-based installation program. NFS mount the FreeBSD disk to this linux box during the installation. Once the installation(copying of files) is completed, you do not need the linux system any more. DO NOT use the wizard to create the database (db assist or something like that). It doesn't work (for me, and many others). Instead, create the database and the rest of the steps manually, on your FreeBSD server. (NB: this is where the how-tos come in handy) Good luck.
