Hi all
I'm installing 8i on my linux box.
Now i ran stuck on something simple like missing a script.
The docs say it should be in /tmp. Google says it either.
But it isn't there. Even worse, it's nowhere.
I'm installing the 8.1.7 version downloaded from oracle.
(9i and 10g wouldn't install on my distro.
Does anyone has the script laying around in his /tmp?
I really like to have it. Or need to know what it's doing.

Just curious.... Why couldn't you install 9i/10g on your distro? What
flavour are you running that couldn't install?

Check your oraInventory/logs/ directory for log output. Maybe there was
an error? Maybe it got saved elsewhere?

I use Gentoo 2004.1 with 2.6.6 kernel. this is the latest at this time.
The 91/10g installers wouldn't run. Message said something like 'wrong distro'.
It's not for a production env. This is on my home comp for educational purpose.

I have not found any logs sofar. and the script isn't saved elsewhere.
did a find / ... with no results.

Perhaps you should try:

You just modify /etc/redhat-release to contain...

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)


Basic 10g installs on Fedora 2 with a 2.6 kernel, but the installation
of the Enterprise Manager fails on the setup tests ( I aparrently have
0MB of memory! ). Just make sure you set up your server as requested
before starting. IIRC, it helps if ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME and
ORACLE_SID are set first.

As you are also on a 2.6 kernel, I expect that you'll find the same on
your box.

Steve.

as I remember, it creates oraInst.loc and oratab in /etc.
so if you have already these, you dont need the script. (it will be
removed later for security reasons).
