XE on Fedora x86 64?

Can the XE version of 10g run on Fedora Core 64bit?

To all who have been helping me: Success and thanks!
I updated the /etc/hosts tables as Virag suggested. I also noted what Werner/Madrid said about LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I decided to copy the oracle_env.sh file to a directory under my home, and include a call to it in my .bash_profile and root's bash_profile. I then deinstalled Oracle XE, and reinstalled it. The re-install would be give me a clean installation to configure. I then ran /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure with root having the LD_LIBRARY_PATH already set as needed. The configuration logs showed success.
I had a couple of other minor problems that I overcame after configuration: the listener was not running, though the configuration script said it was successfully started, and I could not log in with the new system user password I just set.
I used root to start the listener. Root did not have permission to write into the listener log. With the oracle user, I opened up the listener log file, retried starting listener with success.
Next, I tried to log in as user system. It replied that username/password was invalid. I went through the whole re-install one more time just in case I messed up the password. The result was the same, so I did not mistype my password in the configuration process.
To correct the password problem, I used SQLPlus, and logged in with "SYS/password as SYSDBA". Once in, I changed the user system password through SQL commands and successfully logged in as system.
I don't know why these extra problems occurred. If you have any ideas I'm interested.
Thanks again everyone for your help.

Java ORB across platform

Hi,
I am testing simple CORBA server and client program by using Java. I have tested these programs on Linux/windows and Sun Solaris 8 SPARC machine.
I observed following things
1. When i run CORBA server and client both on Redhat fedora x86(Pentium family). Its working fine.
2. When i run same CORBA server on FEDORA and client on WINDOWS 2000. Thats also work fine.
3. In third scenario, I kept both client and server programs on SUN Solaris 8 SPARC machine. Then also it works fine.
But when i kept CORBA server on Sun Solaris 8 SPARC machine and Client on Fedora. CORBA Server was waiting for client requests. But client was unable to connect to server. Error that i observed on client side was.

There are two ways to go about this.
1- Set each time.
2- Always have it set.
1-
Open konsole in kde or gnome-terminal in gnome.

JDeveloper, Subversion, Fedora Core 5 x86-64

I decided to install JDeveloper 10.1.3 on my FC5 workstation and give it a try. This workstation is an AMD x86-64 bit CPU. This is a brief description of the steps I followed:
1. Java SDK. I already had Sun's 1.5.0_06 SDk installed. Since FC5 uses (custom) JPackage packages, I installed the Sun SDK using the JPackage no-source RPM (http://jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=3366).
This requires a little rpm package building, but has worked well for me in the past. With FC5 there are some simple instructions for setting up an rpm build environment (from the FC release notes). Run the following two commands in your home directory:
su -c 'yum install fedora-rpmdevtools'
fedora-buildrpmtree
Then follow the instructions for "non-free" packages on the JPackage site (http://jpackage.org/rebuilding.php).
2. Subversion preparation. Make sure the following packages are installed:
subversion-javahl-1.3.1-2.1.x86_64
subversion-1.3.1-2.1.x86_64
Note again that this is an x86-64 workstation.
3. Download JDeveloper zip file and unzip in a directory of your choice. I used $HOME/lib/jdev1013 since I am the only user of this system that will use JDeveloper. I will call this directory JDEV_HOME.
4. cd into JDEV_HOME/jdev/bin.
5. Edit jdev.conf. I used gedit as a simple and fast text editor for gnome but any will work.
5a. Add this to allow JDeveloper to find the java bindings for subversion:
# 6 May 2006
# Enable subversion bindings
AddNativeCodePath /usr/lib64"
5b. Change "SetJavaVM hotspot" to "SetJavaVM server". The Sun JVM for x86-64 CPUs does not have hotspot at this time.
5c. Save and close.
6. Start JDeveloper with ./jdev
7. JDeveloper will prompt for the path to the SDK. If you use the JPackage rpm for the Sun SDK, this is: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/. If you use the Sun rpm or a different JVM then the path will differ.
That is it. Use JDeveloper's update feature to add the Subversion plug-in.
There may be other quirks, but I have not run into them yet.

Hi Brad: Please explain #1. Java SDK. I already....
I have 1.5.0_10 installed. Shall I install another SDK via JPackage? The links

are not working.

How to Install SJAS on a Fedora Core 4 box

I've had my share of headaches making SJAS work well on an FC4 box, and as there was no good "how-to" on the install, I've compiled the following from trial and error. Hope this is of some use:
Installing Sun Java App Server on FC4:
1) First, start with a Fedora Core 4 box, running with at least 1GB of RAM. This is the minimum recommended configuration for Sun Java Application server, and its associated programs. Load balancing uses a lot more resources (minimum recommended config is 2GB RAM) but on a stand-alone box, 1GB will do. Ensure you've got disk space and connectivity to the net, especially DNS.
2) Copy over the following files to the box. You'll need all of these for the install:
o compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.fc4.i386.rpm - compatibility library needed for FC4, or else the install will crash but won't tell you about it.
o compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4.i386.rpm - another compatibility library needed
o jdk-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.rpm - the JDK as the Java Application server needs Java to run.
o java_es_05Q4_msgserver-ga-linux-x86.zip � appx 340MB, and is the download which installs SJAS, the web server with load balancer plugin, the directory server, etc.
3) Do an rpm -iv on the compat-libstdc* compat libraries.
4) Do an rpm -iv on the jdk.
5) Link the java executibles to /usr/bin by typing "ln -sf /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/bin/* /usr/java". If you installed a different version of the JDK, put in that version instead of 1.5.0.02.
6) Edit your /etc/hosts file. By default, the FC4 install maps your hostname of your box onto localhost / 127.0.0.1. Take this hostname off of 127.0.0.1 so that the only name mapped to 127.0.0.1 is localhost. Then, on the IP address you plan on installing SJAS onto, map the hostname and the fully-qualified domain name to that address. An example /etc/hosts/ file that has worked is:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.99.203 iloapp01.scientology.net iloapp01
7) Unzip the java_es_05Q4_msgserver-ga-linux-x86.zip file into a directory using the "unzip" command.
8) Go into the java_es_05Q4/Linux_x86 directory just created, and run ./installer
9) This will then pop up a graphical installer, if you are running this directly on the server. If running via a console, type ./installer -nodisplay which will pop up the installer in text mode.
10) Click through the installer until you get to the packages list. Install all of the packages, unless there is a specific reason � for the server you're working with � that you don't want one or another of the packages.
11) When it asks you if you want to configure now or configure later, click configure now.
12) Page through all of the proceeding pages of questions, entering master passwords when it asks you to. If it hangs on the first screen, asking for a valid IP address and/or hostname, you either (a) didn't specifiy a valid address which is configured on that box, or (b) you messed up on the /etc/hosts file config above. All you want in the "hostname" field is the server name (i.e. "iloapp01") and all you want in the domain name field is the base domain (i.e. "scientology.net"). That will work.
13) Finish the install wizard and let it exit gracefully.
14) After it finishes the install, you should be able to start each of the services on the box without issue.
o You need the Sun Directory Server for authentication. To start the directory server, run /opt/sun/sbin/directoryserver start, which should work without a hitch. Check if it's working and on by doing a ps -ef | grep slapd and see if the slapd process is running (the LDAP server, needed for authentication).
o Test-start the admin console by running /opt/sun/sbin/mpsadmserver start. This should hang for a little while (unless you have a preposterously fast machine) and then report that it's started. If it didn't work, it will tell you "it hasn't been configured" or some such.
o Start the app server by going to /opt/sun/appserver/bin and typing asadmin start-appserv --user admin. You should then be able to start the admin server after typing the master password.
If this all works, you have a Sun Java Application Server installed, as well as the Directory Server to support it and allow for authentication. For more details on what do do from here, see the Getting SJAS Enterprise Edition to work on an Application Server page.

Step by Step Guide to Install Solaris 10 11/06 With Windows XP on x86 PC

hi everyone
here is how I fixed my dual boot & internet connectivity failure problems. I'm explaining in detail to help any Solaris newbie (like me) having same problems: ( as I didn't find any REAL Help thru Sun Help Documents / Pages )
My special thanx to " Phil Brown " ( who helped me alott on this )
First to get rid of Dell's Diagnostic Partition & System Recovery Partition I re-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition & at installation I made 4 Partitions of my Dell 9150 ( x86 Intel Pentium Dual Core ) 238 GB Hard Drive.
(1) C: 100 GB for Windows XP ( NTFS )
(2) D: 80 GB for Solaris 10 ( RAW )
(3) E: 50 GB for Linux ( RAW , which I haven't installed yet )
(4) F: 6 GB (RAW)
(5) G: 2 GB Un-Allocated Space
Restarted PC after Win XP installation & installed Partition Magic 8 . In PM8 I formatted Solaris partition as FAT 32 (at Solaris installation it changed to Solaris format) & Linux as Linux EXT 3 . Rebooted the PC. I Started Solaris 10 11/06 installation from the DVD I burned from Sun downloads.
Here's how I installed Solaris 10 11/06 :
(1) On the next screen after "Loading Stage 2 ... " I selected " Solaris "
(2) Selected " Solaris Interactive (default) installation
(3) Hit "enter" to accept proposed Windows configuration screen it displayed
(4) Selected 0 = English as language (you need to take cursor into white window so you can type 0 into it, otherwise u can't)
(5) hit NEXT
(6) Selected "Networked" option
(7) Selected YES to "Use DHCP for e1000g0 ( Intel Pro/1000 Network Adapter )
(8) Selected NO to "enable IPv6"
(9) Selected NO to "enable Kerberos"
(10) Selected DNS as "Name Service"
(11) entered " f.root-servers.net " as Domain Name
(12) Server's IP address : 192.5.5.241 ( you can choose the one that closest to you by visiting http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/ops/f-root/ )
(13) Search Domain: Left all boxes empty ('coz when I tried to put any IP's into 'em, it generated " SysidgenSyserr " and have to re-start installation )
(14) Geographic Continent / Country / Region: Americas > U. S. > time zone
(15) hit NEXT on Date & Time Screen
(16) Entered password twice
(17) Selected YES to "enable Remote Services"
(18) hit CONFIRM
(19) Clicked NEXT on Solaris installation Welcome screen
(20) Selected NO to " Reboot Automatically " and YES to eject additional CD/DVDs
(21) Clicked OK on NOTICE
(22) Specified CD/DVD as " Media from which you installing Solaris "
(23) Check ACCEPT & hit next
(24) Selected "initial install" & hit next
(25) I choose "Custom Install" > NEXT > North America > and checked both, " English ( U S ) ( en_us) & English ( U S, UTF-8) (en_us.UTF-8) and hit next
(26) Selected English (US, UTF-8) as initial locale > NEXT
(27) Selected " Solaris 10 Extra Value Software " > NEXT
(28) Selected NONE to " Web Start Ready Product Scan Location " > NEXT
(29) Selected " Entire Group - Default Packages " in Solaris software group screen > NEXT
(30) Selected " c1do(bootdisk) " > NEXT
(31) " c1d0 " Selected > NEXT
(32) There was a Warning: " A Linux fdisk partition was found on this disk (c1d0), which is the default bootdisk. Having a linux fdisk partition on the same disk as a Solaris fdisk partiton is not supported. Do you want to load the default Lay out ? I choose NO
(33) It displayed 4 partitions. 1st: " Unknown " 100GB , 2nd: FAT32LBA, this I changed to Solaris by clicking on partition, size 80GB . 3rd: Linux 50GB , 4th: DOSEXTLBA 8GB , hit NEXT
(34) I choose NO to " Preserve Data Warning " (the 80GB partition)
(35) Displayed " Lay Out File Systems " screen, c1d0 was highlighted. > NEXT
(36) On " Ready to Install Screen " it displayed Fdisk partitions: 1st: Unknown "Preserved" , 2nd: FAT32LBA delete, & Solaris add, 3rd: Linux "Preserved" , 4th: DOSEXTLBA "Preserved" >>> hit " Install Now "
(37) When installation finishes hit " Reboot " & when PC was restarting I ejected DVD manually
(38) After re-start it displayed 3 options: 1st: Solaris 10 , 2nd: Solaris failsafe , 3rd: Windows , ENTER on Solaris 10
(39) At sign-in screen, I signed in as, user name: " root " & enterd password (which I typed at installation)
(40) I choose JAVA Desktop System
When it was fully up, the Internet was working right away. Restarted again to check Windows. Selected " Windows " at reboot screen & Windows was working just fine.
It took me few allnighters to figure these out, I hope these will helpful to Solaris newbies like me. Still I can't figure out ... How to install any software (obviously designed for Solaris 10 (x86) ) onto Solaris, but thats a different issue.

"A Linux fdisk partition was found on this disk (c1d0), which is the default bootdisk. Having a Linux fdisk partition is not supported"
It might not be supported, but it works fine for me on my thinkpad :-) .
redhat/solaris/xp.
You can't just use the linux grub, though, because it won't understand
solaris 'slices within partitions'. You need to get Solaris to install
grub itself (in fact, you can't stop it doing so, which is rather unfair),
and then add in the linux * xp entries to Solaris's /boot/grub/menu.lst
(== grub.conf) to get it to pick up fedora & xp. Chainloading xp worked
fine for me. Chainloading RHEL4/5 doesn't, so I had to cat the grub.conf
from red hat on to the end of solaris's menu.lst. Stick red hat's grub.conf
on a USB pen or just write it down before putting Solaris on, otherwise you'll
have to boot linux rescue of a red hat CD in order to get hold of it after
Solaris's grub takes over.

ORA-12157 when installing Oracle 10g on Fedora 5?

Hi, Im installing Oracle 10g on Fedora 5, I did it once, but when I tried to set it up again I
got this error on the last part of the install...
ORA-12157: TNS: internal network communication error
Anybody know what might cause this?
I think I have installed all required RPMs and set environment variables, kernel parameters,
created oracle users and groups as needed, but still get the above error. I searched the error and some claim it is a problem using newer glibc 2.4.4, so I tried installing on Fedora 4 and had the same error even with glibc 2.3???
Thanks so much,
Jon

Sun Calendar Server on Fedora Core

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and this product. I want to develop a solution around the Sun Calendar Server for which I want to download the evaulation version and try it out.
Is anybody aware of whether the server will work on Linux Fedora Core 5 or other Fedora Core versions
- Rakesh Agarwal

Hi,
I am new to this forum and this product. I want to
develop a solution around the Sun Calendar Server for
which I want to download the evaulation version and
try it out.
Is anybody aware of whether the server will work on
Linux Fedora Core 5 or other Fedora Core versionsWhether it works or not is beside the point. Fedora Core is not a supported platform for Sun Calendar so if you did run into problems in the future and need Sun support assistance you would be told in no uncertain terms to go-away. This would be no different to attempting to run the calendar software on OpenSolaris.
Save yourself heartache and use either Solaris 10 x86 or Redhat AS/ES 3.0/4.0 instead (I'm personally biased towards the Solaris 10 side of things).

Shane.

Solaris x86 install ok, audio not working

I have installed V10 on an MSI AMD x86 (32bit) board, coexisting with my Windows,Linux and OS/2 partitions. All works ok, except audio.
This is an NVIDIA based board, and uses the NForce drivers. I saw one entry in the HCL about the Audio810 driver, but that didn't help.
I need audio to work to try out the Java Desktop Accessibility features.
ps, it works in Linux, Fedora Core 3.
I also installed a Creative PCI Soundcard, so could use this instead. The boot time configurator sees the hardware in the PCI slot, but never does anything with it.
help help..
thanks

I ran into this as well. As soon as it detects an audio error, it shuts down the "audio server". Once you get valid drivers (or a valid card, like the Sound Blaster), you have to activate the audio server function in JDS.
I can't remember exactly where is it located off the top of my head, but I had to do that last week when I ended up installing drivers for the Intel 82810BA audio chipset. Once I activated the audio server (or sound server or something like that), I was able to get full audio with the exception of the CD audio. I have no idea what that's about.
I remember that I found the audio server check box somewhere in one of the GUI configuration tools. Search around. You should be able to find it after a while.

Solaris 10 x86 b72 "Cannot find boot.bin" booting from SCSI.

Hello,
After several gyrations of installation attempts and dealing with early BIOS PnP issues, I've finally managed to get Solaris 10 x86 installed on an old dual P2 333Mhz system. So far the system is running flawlessly, but I'm still not able to boot directly off the SCSI disk. The primary boot handler is erroring out that it cannot find boot.bin.
I can boot fine off of the IDE CD drive and the floppy (currently pointed to autoboot into the SCSI disk as a workaround). But when I try to boot directly off the SCSI drive, I get the error from the Solaris boot manager that it "Cannot find boot.bin".
I have booted off the CD & Floppy and compared the /boot files from both the CD & floppy, but I cannot find any difference that would prevent the primary boot loader from finding boot.bin. I've even compared files to make sure they were not corrupt, and even force re-installed the boot handlers, and manually partioning, always with the same results. I've also tried both enabling and disabling the DOS >1G translation of the Adaptec SCSI BIOS with no change. I can't find any reason that the boot loader is not seeing boot.bin, or that the file is corrupt in any way (even after several wipe and install attempts).
My System is:
Supermicro P6DLS dual Pentium II 333MHz & 512MB RAM, w/ Adaptec 7880 SCSI-UW and IDE (whopping UltraDMA 33) interfaces.
CD/DVD reader is configured as the secondary master (moved from primary master in an attempt to fix boot problem)
HD is a 16GB UW SCSI disk.
(Other particulars ommited unless someone feels they are relevant to the boot process).
The system came to me with Windows 2000 installed and functioning. I also had Fedora Core 3 installed, both with no boot problems of the SCSI disk. (Although FC3 would not see the second processor even with the canned SMP kernel).
This system is intended to replace a Fedora Core 3 system to be a multi-purpose firewall gateway & proxy server and I'm really liking the performance I'm seeing with Solaris 10 on this system but would like it to be able to go through a normal boot process and not have to depend on a floppy as a boot device to get started.
Anyone have any ideas why the Solaris x86 boot loaders think that they cannot find boot.bin when the full /boot partion is intact?
TIA,
-Troy

I'm getting the same problem trying to install
Solaris 10 in VMware from DVD.
It brings up the Solaris Primary Boot Subsystem, so
it appears to be reading fine, but the only thing
that happens is I get the Cannot find boot.bin
error.Hmm, the "Cannot find boot.bin." message comes from the
CD/DVD's boot code, which is contained in the first 16 sectors
of the media.
The boot.bin file is supposed to be read from the Solaris UFS
slice, which starts at 512 byte block #5151360 (or 2048 byte
dvd sector #1287840). This a byte offset of ~2.6 GBytes.
Maybe an issue with your system's bios not being able to read
DVD media > 2GB, during DVD boot?
Or a problem with burning the DVD media? Maybe some
"smart" PC DVD burning software has decided only to record
the 2.6 GB ISO filesystem, and the 100 MB Solaris UFS
filesystem that follows the ISO filesystem is missing on the DVD?
Or a 2GB filesize issue while burning the DVD?
Do you have a pc / windows utility that can print some information
about the S10 DVD media, especially the size of that DVD?
Maybe your CD/DVD recording software?
The original S10 GA x86 DVD image has a size of 2732195840
bytes, or 1334080 2K DVD blocks.

Solaris 10 x86 64-bit wireless connection problem

I installed Solaris 10 x86 32-bit on my laptop together with Fedora 10 (Linux) and Windows XP.
When I boot up Fedora 10 and WinXP, these two OS are able to find the wireless driver automatically, but Solaris 10 failed.
When I do prtconf -pv, I saw my wireless card is listed in the output.
So I update the /boot/solaris/devicedb/master and /etc/driver_aliases with my wireless card id - pci168c,001a
Then do sys-unconfig and reboot
But after reboot, Solaris still only tries to configure the ethernet card (NIC) rather than checking out the wireless connection.
I think this might be a design flaw for Solaris 10. If it runs on x86, most users would have wireless connection, not just land line connection.
Does anyone here have a solution for this problem?
Thanks a lot!

I assume that when solaris 10 boots up, it only checks the land line NIC card, not the wireless card. If there is no lan connection, then so be it.
Is that right?No! :-)
nwam only supports one device but the device is selectable. physical should activate all devices regardless. So if your Wifi isn't working then I would use wificonfig to see what it can see. Check the man page for scan and showstatus options. Then you'll know what it's seeing.

Try setting it to [blah]/jumpstart/config.
Can you post the boot messages? They normally have something about looking for sysidcfg file and looking for rules.ok file. Do you see those?

Could you please help in on this issue? Thanks!

unfortunately, the person had no input...
i do have a work around for you if you are interested. it is a little more involved, but works well. i just tested with Pandora Desktop. here's the example
Prereqs:
Download the AIR 2.6 Linux SDK - Adobe AIR 2.6 SDK Linux (35.8 MB)
Download the Pandora Air Desktop - www.pandora.com
Instruction (in terminal)
unzip the AIR SDK in your home directory
-it will unpack a "bin" directory in your home
create a folder ~/apps/pandora
-this will contain the contents of the pandora app
unzip the pandora_3_0_3.air contents into ~/apps/pandora
run the following command
adl -nodebug ~/apps/pandora/META_INF/AIR/application.xml ~/app/pandora
NOTE: if that works for you. you can create a shortcut with the same command so you won't need to use command line.

Installing HTTP Server on Fedora 4

I am completely stuck. I managed to install the latest release of 10G, and now I am trying to install the HTTP Server and HTMLDB on my Fedora 4 box. The problem comes when the universal installer attempts to start the HTTP server - it fails every time. I am getting the following errors in the HTTP_Server~1 log:

I have been searching the web for two days now, but have not found anything that fixes this issue. Can anyone here help?
Thanks in advance,

@twilliamsebs:
I had the same problem described above, but your post actually created a lot of confusion! libdb.so.2 did not exist at first on my system. Then I read this post and added the symlink so that the
symlink /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 was pointing to /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 and this actually didn't change the dbm_fetch error as described above.
I found the following info after removing this symbolic link, while searching for the "libdb.so.2" being missing error:
"Configuration changes prevented server
startup.<ORACLE_HOME>/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd:
error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.2: cannot open shared object
file: No such file
or directory"
Analysis:
-Problem accessing /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
-Either permission problem, or file does not exist, etc
Conclusion:
-libdb.so.2 is from gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1.i386 (RHEL3 for x86)
-This is a pre-req as listed in note:269557.1
-libdb.so.2 can be installed with following instructions
1. Login as root user
2. cd /
3. Obtain listing of files to be installed
rpm2cpio gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1.i386.rpm | cpio -itv "./usr/lib/libdb*"
4. Install libdb.so.2 ( libdb.so.2 -> libdb1.so.2)
rpm2cpio gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv "./usr/lib/libdb*"
References
<NOTE:269557.1> - Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) - Installation
Requirements for the Red Hat 3.0 Linux (AMD64)
I downloaded gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1.i386.rpm, installed it and this created a symbolic link from libdb.so.2 -> libdb1.so.2 (which it installed) and after that everything went fine!

stantyan,
i would sujjest you use live cd versions of some distros that i have used which i i have found intuitive and reliable
1 pclinux os
2.ubuntu 8.10
3. open suse11
you seem to be new to the linux world try exploring these distros and then decide which one you would prefer the most...run live cd sessions of these distros and check out the working of your wireless card most of them automatically detect it during installtion itself
for installing fedora 10 follow this link

Exploring Solaris 10 x86

I am exploring the option of replacing all of my older sparc workstations with Solaris 10 x86. We are currently in the testing and learning phase. So far I think it is pretty cool.
My problem for the moment is that I have engineers who compile and run code on our existing Sparc server. Since I am just learning my way around Solaris 10, I want to be sure that I am correct in my assumption that code compiled on a sparc system will not run on a Solaris 10 PC.
So..basically does anyone know with Solaris 10 x86 does it run Sparc compiled programs and or will it run shared out applications or not? Is there some feature within this new version that makes this work? With my current setup of sparc workstations, there is no problem mounting the shares from the home and using the workstation CPU to do the work. It would be great if it could still work the same but with an x86 workstation.
If not I'll have to work on my boss to buy the PC version of SUN's compiler.
Thanks!!!!

Yeh...Im already giving him quotes. :)
Another question. I have Fedora on a Dell PC with a Dell mouse with a center scroll button. On that system I can use the center button as a 3rd button were I am able to cut and paste with the buttons.
However, I cannot seem to get the same functionality to work on the Solaris 10 running on Dell hardware. The scroll will work but wont work as a 3rd button if pressed like it does on the linux box. Is anyone using Dell with a Dell mouse and figured out how to get the mouse to work as 3 buttons? I've tried several selections by running kdmconfig, but nothing changes. Any ideas or can anyone point me to some documentation??
Thanks!!
