>On what is basically a fresh debian box with a 2.4 kernel, I tried to.... I had "fun" installing Oracle (9i ?) on a box a year or so back so you have my sympathy. Oracle can be very fussy about library versions (or at least was when i was installing it). This was a RedHat 7.2 and it was a pig of a job. RH suggestions included "fudging" the binutils rpm (which made compiling anything on that box impossible). I also found out there was a problem with early pentiums (didnt like anything < pentium 2 or somthing like that), it cause segv faults too if I remember correctly (that cost me a week of mucking about on a dual processor pentium 1's). Redhat has a config file called sysctl.conf in /etc that allows you to set kernel.shmmax and kernel.sem settings for the resource hungry Oracle. But I dont know if this is the same on debian. My final comment on oracle : Yuck !!! Do you really need to use oracle ? MySQL / Postgres are much kinder to the Linux Adminstrator / DBA Hope this helps Tom.
