Comments on: Installing Oracle 8i R2 http://www.zx81.org.uk/computing/oracle/oracle-howto/install816.html Photography, opinions and other random ramblings by Stephen Darlington Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:25:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: stephend http://www.zx81.org.uk/computing/oracle/oracle-howto/install816.html#comment-33 stephend Sat, 02 Sep 2006 16:39:23 +0000 http://ccgi.sdarlington.plus.com/computing/oracle/oracle-howto/installing-oracle-8i-r2.html#comment-33 Rajesh, the short answer is, I think, you can't. Last I heard Oracle were providing critical support for it, which means that if you ask them nicely they might send you a disc. However, the real question is why do you want to use such an old version? It won't be supported -- it might not even run -- on any contemporary Linux distribution. Plus modern versions of Oracle 10g have a much simpler installation process. Rajesh, the short answer is, I think, you can’t.
