Having Problems

[Chirs Cowan]

I just downloaded 8.0.5 for Linux and it has a completely different 
installer. It's text based! which is good considering I need to put it 
on a server and I didn't really want to install an X Windows server. It 
installed and I finally got an sqlplus session running and connected to 
my Oracle 8.0.5 server. Although the sqlplus that installed doesn't 
work... piece of crap....

We are currently running 8. Does anyone know if the Oracle 8 NET*8 will 
work with Oracle 8i? (We might be upgrading soon)
