hi,

i've just tried the same -- installing oracle 10.1.0.3 on freebsd 5.4-R 
-- without success.
i followed daemonnews, the handbook, oracle guides for linux and some 
others, but:
first, runInstaller failed due to unsupported OS -- this wasn't 
mentioned anywhere -- i tried to patch oraparam.ini but i failed :(
second, i just tried to run 'runInstaller --help' and it crashed when 
initialising (see below) with java process using 100% cpu. :-(

is there nobody who have successfully installed oracle 10g on freebsd 
5.[3|4] ?
or is just noone willing to share their how-to on this subject?

cheers,

martin

-- the following was run from linux bash under oracle user :

-su-2.05b$ ./runInstaller --help
