Yep, I have a PR open to update the Handbook instructions for this, and I've been hanging on to do 10g rather than 9i. In the meantime (and afterwards too), I suggest that those interested should not hesitate to register their interest in running 10g on FreeBSD with Oracle, either via Metalink or the relevant contact at http://www.oracle.com/corporate/contact/global.html. It came to my attention this week that a certain large FreeBSD user have an arrangement with Oracle for FreeBSD support already (although I assume that this is for the client). Ceri PS If anyone is interested in the hoops required to get the 10gR1 download for Mac OS X working on 10.4, drop me a line. --=20 That must be wonderful! I don't understand it at all. -- Moliere --mR8QP4gmHujQHb1c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEnUYQocfcwTS3JF8RAkcMAKChzFwzSN+jd0iexn5GZYCeEKG3ZACfQ80n qXAuEuP8ru5NvBeE6tt6y5s= =1D17 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --mR8QP4gmHujQHb1c--
