Re: Solaris 8 - Oracle 9i - close to suicide......

Installing 9i database requires (taken from Metalink):

      Ensure that the system has at least the following resources:

         · 400 MB in /tmp

         · 256 MB of Physical Memory (RAM)

         · Three times the amount of Physical Memory for Swap space (unless the

           system exceeds 1 GB of Physical Memory, where two times
           the amount of Physical Memory for Swap space is sufficient)

Hope this helps in some way, or another ;)
