Maureen,
If you are just talking the Rdbms install, then it has no impact. As
long as you run the root.sh script before you try and start various
database components, you will be fine. Specific examples are the Oracle
agent and the listener (I think). Take a look at the root.sh script.
For the Rdbms install, all it really does is to set permissions on some
executable files. In a couple of cases, some files need to be owned by
root - so a chown command is thrown in there. This is why the script
needs to be run before you start running some components.
For other Oracle installations (like Oracle Applications & Portal), you
*must* run root.sh before you proceed or your install gets all balled
up.
As usual, your mileage may vary. I would make it a good habit to follow
the installation instructions carefully, as what I said above may change
for 10.x installations. Stuff changes fast around here!
Good Luck.
Tom

Subject: installation question
All;
I've been installing release 92080 on quite a few machines
lately and have managed to do something unexpected on two of
them. I've not noticed any issues after my *error*, but I'm
wondering if anyone knows if there could be a problem that
I just haven't seen, yet.
At the end of the installation, a window pops up with a message
about needing to leave this window open and go run root.sh
from another window. This is all well and good, but twice now
I've been working in another window when this message pops up.
If I happen to be typing too fast in my other window, the
message pops up, the focus is transferred to the installation
window before my brain catches up and I've managed to hit
return <in my installation window> before the root script
has been run. Does anyone know what impact this has on the
installation?
Any comments are welcome.
