9iAS : WHY THE HELL I NEED A CDROM ?

Anyone wanna to laugh ?
I've here one computer that it does not have a CD-ROM! I unzip 9iAS disks installation to the HARDDRIVE, and i try to install just clicking on ISETUP from the the 1st disk!
I get an error "NO CD-ROM available"! WHY THE HELL i need a cd-rom i thought! And the installer shut off and don't give me a chance to install! Of course i went to other directories and found a SETUP.EXE and try it... but... BUGS, BIGS, BUGS... Some services wont start, sometime RUNTIME errors... etc!
So, i thought... ORACLE for sure made an alliance with CREATIVE CD-ROM'S department and in every program they made a routine to check if a CD-ROM is present... and i install a CD-ROM on the computer and try it again...
EUREKA... Setup launch from disk... but the CD-ROM presence WAS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
THIS IS FOR ORACLE GUYS... Why the HELL i need a CD-ROM if i install 9iAS from HARD DISK ????
Someone should be lay off!!!!!

Hi Joao,
One possible solution is to use the silent install methods outlined in Chapter 6 of the install guide. The iSetup.EXE launcher is specifically designed for use from the CD's, since that is the most common method of distribution. However, you can also run the installation silently or semi-silently, depending on how much information you provide in the response file. The response files are organized on the first CD under the \silent\<install_type> directories.
If you are installing the Enterprise Edition, please pay special attention to the silent install chapter, as there are several steps involved in handling the 8.0.6 RSF-based components to ensure that they are installed properly.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Larry

  • Why the hell shall I buy a external product? (x-fi car

    Why the hell shall I buy the digital i/o module to have digital output on my soundcard?
    I need to have digital output to connect my soundcard to my ddts-00 decoder like i used to do with my old audigy 2 zs.

    Im so disappointed with this situation..Message Edited by tecznology on 07-2-20072:3 AM

    If you have to buy something, it's an?adapter. If you own a SB460 model you need a miniplug-to-RCA cable or adapter (and the DDTS00 included one) and if you own a SB0730 model you need an optical miniplug-to-toslink adapter or cable.

    come on guys, you can do better than that!

    Hi ajag,
    Sorry you are having problems, but probably some adware or malware.
    Thanks for including System Information. I am not familiar with "''Vonteera Free Ads''" However it is apparently adware. Take care with advice followed from internet searches I would for instance NOT try the YAC site or tool.
    Using the Firefox addons manager and the Windows Control Panel remove any obvious unwanted toolbars or programs. Then scan with multiple and fully up to date tools.
    *''' General method: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] '''
    Please follow the advice in the link immediately above and then do the full scans as mentioned lower down in this post.
    I note you have a ''user.js'' file that may need attention separately.
    Post back saying what you tried and what the results were.

  • Why the hell can't I contact Mozilla directly?

    Why the hell do I have to ask a question to a public "community"? I want to contact someone at Mozilla directly. Why isn't there a direct contact link? Can someone give me a link, phone number or email address to Mozilla directly. My account has been hacked and compromised!!!

    My Account means which one?

  • Why the hell is CC AGAIN telling me I am on a trial version and asking me to login and register?

    Why the hell is CC AGAIN telling me I am on a trial version (I am not and have never been) and asking me to login and register?
    This happened last year and I thought Adobe had fixed it but it has again been occurring for the past couple of weeks and it is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!
    ... The Adobe CONTACT page is not working.  I just get "Select Your Adobe Product" and the little spinning thing saying "Loading" (but it never does).  It is NOT my connection.  Other pages and other websites are working just fine.

    Ah... I feel your pain. 
    I had to phone Adobe and spend an hour on the phone while they 'fixed' this (yet again) for me.
    So far so good... ring or 'live chat' 'em! ... it's the only way

  • Why the hell can't i make the call?

    i bought a monthly plan with 400 mins to call to hk. after i have finished my minutes, i bought another monthly plan, but i couldn't make the call !!! it keeps telling me not enough credits!!! what the hell is wrong with this ????

    Subscriptions minutes are given per month, not per payment.
    This means if you purchase 400minutes on the 13th then these minutes are available till next month 13th. You can't add another 400 minutes before 13th.
    Your order went through and your minutes will become available from the 13th of December.
    If you need more minutes right now then you can purchase a different subscription, for example 120minutes.

  • Why the HELL did I ever try any other distro?

    Let me preface my comments by saying I was, at one point, a gentoo fanboy. That is, until I discovered I could get a system up and running that's just as fast as a gentoo box in oh, a third of the time.
    Long live Arch.

    OK,
    My first try of linux was moreless in 1997. I tried RH and Caldera ;-) They survived in my PC about 1 week. It seemed to be a big virus :-)
    Then, in 2000-2001, i bought my actual PC, and installed XP. But it was horribly slow, so, hating MS, tried Linux again, with RH.
    But, again, the same problem: i had the sensation that i a lot of sofware was running or installed, and, didn't know why. That mixture of GTK and QT made me crazy. I prefer seeing how the things are made, before, seeing the whole thing, and discovering, how it was made.
    So, i discovered a thing that sounded fine: Linux from scracth (LFS).
    I made love with LFS ;-) for about 3 years. I learned what software is, how it works, the dependencies. But, not a the first try. Once made a complete system, i discovered new things that make the system better. At this time, i tried Gentoo, just to try, but didn't like. I prefered making myself the system.
    After 4 or 5 system "construction", morelees November 2005, a new version of LFS came up, so i began to make it. When finished LFS, and before starting BLFS, i realizaed, that i was tired of compiling.
    So, i decided, that time of LFS was finished, as what i was looking for when i knew about it, was perfectly made (thanks LFS). In that moment, a knew exactly what i want:
    - Binary, no more compilation!! :-)
    - Good Package system
    - Actual software, but only using oficial repos
    - Minimal base system (one LFS). After that, i'll install only what i want
    - minimal editing of configuration files to make it work
    So, before installing distros, i started to read the manuals of every distribution: gentoo (has binary package), RH, Fedora, Suse, Ubuntu... but all of them had things that i didn't like. Until i found someone in the net talking about Arch. I read the user manual and thought: this isn't possible, is what i want, exactly!!
    So, i installed the base system, rebooted, made a "pacman -S kde", copied my xorg.conf from LFS to Arch, and... perfect!!!. I only had need of editing 3 or 4 conf files to have my system as i want!!
    And, here i follow :-)

  • Why the iPod classic needs to be updated

    Two things:
    - iTunes U content, should have its own menu section in the device. Why put all that stuff into a single Movies category.
    - Front Row or similar application is needed. Why is it sold a Universal Dock with a Remote, while there is no way of actually controlling the device, and using it effectively through a tv or monitor.
    Regards,

    I've only recently downloaded anything from iTunesU and was optimistically hoping something sensible would happen when I synced the tracks to the iPod. Sadly not. While I quite agree that Apple could & should update the iPod with a dedicated section for iTunesU it is possible with iTunes 9 to switch the Media Kind to Podcast which at least gives more organisation to any iTunesU content. As far as I can tell you need to remove & resync the tracks for the switch to take place on the iPod.

  • Why the groupware connector need Read/Write access for all mailboxes?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know the technical side of how the  Groupware connector creates activities,tasks and contacts?
    I know it's not sending them with SMTP, it's work with DCOM, 
    is it creates it directly in the recipient mailbox!?, and thats why it needs write access?
    kind regards,
    Pavel, sheynkman.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the information but i already red this note and the .doc files,
    it still not answering WHY you need this permission? to answer this question you need to know the technical side,an answers to question like how the GW put the contacts or the activities in the user's inbox(using DCOM)?
    Think about that:
    If i have BP's that is not part of my organization, no way somebody will give me administrate permissions on his mailbox.
    So if this is really true SAP Didn't think that through.

  • Why the hell you've now decided to change the order of the "Open link in a new window" and "Open link in a new tab" options on the link menu???????????????

    Why, oh why have you now decided to change the order of the link menu options? People were so used to it that I bet nobody even look at the menu, they just go for it as I do and many of my friends does!! Why change something that works so fine and has been since ever??

    I like the new arrangement because I open new tabs much more often than I open new windows. It makes much more sense than the old way.

  • Why the hell do I keep getting this friggin' error msg"Server not found Firefox can't find the server at .................." ?

    Done all suggestions in online help (windows firewall settings, updates, ect.) No problem with IE8 with same webpages.

    I'm looking for a solution for the "Server Not Found message I keep getting repeatedly, and this thread does not provide a solution.
    However, I had to sign in to say that the "Reset Firefox" feature should never be presented as a first solution to any problem. It's a last resort, not first resort. Doing so is lazy thinking and reckless, especially when dealing with users who may be newbies or inexperienced, or who may not read instructions so carefully and understand the ramifications of wiping their settings and customizations.
    There are plenty of articles and Knowledge Base entries that touch upon this user's problem, so why wasn't he directed to those, or at least the invariable "Open in safe Mode", before suggesting such a drastic "solution"?

  • Why the Thinkpad Retro needs an 1:8 Screen

    The title is clickbait, but this is not a troll post. Let me explain.
    I think that the Thinkpad Retro would be best suited with an 1:8 screen, just not with the 1:8 screen as the only screen. The point is that there is wide demand for a 4:3 screen for the Thinkpad Retro, but it is hard to obtain 4:3 screens, 4:3 screens apparently have inherent characteristics that make them more expensive than 16:9 screens (4:3 screens require a higher salvage rate), and 4:3 screens are unsuited to widescreen media. The solution, then, is not to source a unitary 4:3 screen, but instead to source two separate screens, a 16:10 screen and a paired 2:16 (1:8) screen, which when combined creates a 4:3 unitary screen. The benefit of this is that then a 16:10 form factor can be preserved, while the additional 2:16 screen can be included a la the W700DS, but with a slightly more sophisticated form factor allowing flush alignment between the primary and second screen. The result will be increased fragility, perhaps increased weight to offset the increased fragility, as well as a visible dislocation where the 16:10 and 2:16 screens are joined, but the end result is that for normal office use, the effect of the 2:16 screen would be invisible, allowing you to retain a 4:3 screen ratio, and for widescreen media consumption, you would prefer to push down the 2:16 screen and revert to a 16:10 screen ratio anyways. The most important effect is that while you will need additional software / hardware (the screens should be joined on the hardware level) to make the screen work, you will be able to avoid the cost of custom-building a system proportioned for 4:3 operation, as well as avoid the cost of buying a custom 4:3 screen, instead only requiring the costs of a 1:8 screen, which most LCD makers might gladly sell you as scrap from conventional manufacturing.

    I actually care about this more than I do about backlighting conventional keys (TBH, I prefer Chiclet because I've had way too many bad experiences cleaning out conventional keyboards). With regards to maximization, as mentioned before, it could all be handled on the hardware level; i.e, when the second monitor experiences full extension, a signal is sent to the controller to disconnect the 16:10 monitor and connect the virtual 4:3 monitor. The other part about the bezel; that's the more interesting engineering challenge. What is being sought is a bezel-less display, or a display which can have an adjacent, but bezel-less screen, latch onto it with minimal distortion. The benefit of this type of 1:8 system is that say, the Thinkpad Retro becomes available in 2016 or 2017. In 1-2 years, because the base model has high demand, an extensible monitor can be engineered for the same form factor and sharing many of  the same parts, reducing costs, making a virtually 4:3 monitor viable.

  • WHY THE HELL SHOULD WE PROVIDE THE FIX????

    enough said

    welll, that idea seems tempting.
    I though I was about immune to the BkSOD, so tonight, i wanted to test with the NOLF2 teaser. Got the teaser, installed, played. Took me three tries to finish (i'm a bit rusty). After cleaning the level, stood on the blue car facing the tornado and then went to do my laundry.
    It took more than an hour, but finally it rebooted all by itself.
    Not really the result i wanted, but well... On the other hand, i can play UT2003 for hours with no problems.
    Are you sure there is no issue with the demo? like ppl were complaining for UT and their boards showed lots of VIA users worse than us...
    Anyway, dropping by nvidia could be fun, especially since they are litteraly accross from my work place. But i dont think it would do any good. If we can get a contact BEFOREHAND, then i'd agree to go and talk to them, demonstrate it if needed. But not out of the blue like that...
    Anybody got any contact there?
