Hi,

Oracle Personal 8.1.6/Win98 needs 96 Mb of RAM for autoinstallation to run. 64 MB is probably inadequate in any case, but if you want to try it anyway, here's how:

1. Open Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
2. Follow the steps to create a new database
3. When you are offered the choice between creating the database now or wait, you choose wait.
4. Save the database creation scripts as suggested and remember the location.
5. Shut down as many programs as possible -> Save RAM
6. Run the script you saved in 4)
7. Good luck !
