I did this about 4 months ago. Oracle has probably tired of geting the irate phone calls on switching CD's. ;)

FYI, the box of 817 CDs I got included a sheet of paper warning you to cd out of the cdrom directory before trying to switch CDs.

The java installer is the same look and feel across all platforms. With 8.1.7 you have 2 CD's on some systems. Therefore in order to switch CD's mid install you need to issue the runInstaller command from a directory other than the CD-ROM. Such as:

        $ cd /home/oracle
        $ /cdrom/runInstaller

Doing this allows you to unmount the cdrom and switch cd's when you need to. This info is not in the readme's. It was not on metalink the last time I checked. And, as you would expect, you need to talk to 3 different support techs to get someone aware of this little trick.

Dear All,

I've been working with Oracle on NT for years, never had the one on unix. Now, I am trying to use the one on Linux. I see that the installation screen is just the same as on NT. Is this also the same with other unix platform such as AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, etc?

TIA Nosie
