Don't mess about with the o/s, you could hurt more than solve. Just edit the oraparm.ini file to include your OS in the supported versions section -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Database Admin Sent: 08 March 2004 08:20 To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Is 10g available for Mandrake Linux ?- Hardware req Jay , setting what Stephanie as said will also bypass all the tests.Which is something I dont recommend which will lead to the "Weird Error Messages" as she has reported.I have successfully loaded "General Pourpose" DB on a RH9(Not Supported either) with 256MB RAM 1024MB(Swap) and a Intel PIII 1.13Ghz but let me warn you it did appear hung at certain points but at the end it worked.There is a glibc issue which will make it hang at 71% or 64% at linking phase.Try to find out which file OUI checks to verify the version like for RH9 it is /etc/redhat-release and change it after taking a backup,this way I could fool the OUI to think its a RH AS though it is RH9.
