Oracle 8 doesn't have a Java installer. Oracle 8i does, but isn't covered by the handbook. The handbook does give a good starting point when trying to install and run Oracle 8i, but it is no following-these-easy-steps-to-guaranteed-success kind of description anymore (it never was :-) I suggest reading the Oracle installation manual before you attempt to do anything unsupported with it. And with anything unsupported: assume you don't get any support :-) > I have istalled the jre jdk, and linux-jdk ports, all to no vail. The Oracle manual clearly stated that blackdown JDK was recommended. That may have changed in the mean time of course, but I don't think that it will be as trivial as installing just any JDK port (and specifically a FreeBSD port). > Could someone _PLESE_ explain what I am doing wrong? 1. You're installing the wrong Oracle version, or you're reading the wrong description for the Oracle version you're trying to install. 2. You're pioneering with the expectation that the road ahead is already paved. -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
