\_ SMTP quoth Chirs Cowan on 6/27/2001 22:41 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ But this time when I went to run the [oracle] installer it keeps \_ giving me the following message: \_ \_ Initializing Java Virtual Machine from \_ ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. \_ Please wait... \_ map failed \_ \_ I installed Netscape 6 with all the options including Java 2. Would \_ that be giveing this weird behavior? If so does anyone know how to \_ *cleanly* unistall Netscape 6? "/1.1.8/" and "Java 2" probably don't go together. Install the jre/jdk 1.1.8 and see if it flies better. YMMV, but the 1.1.8 number seems familiar from my QP days. David
