Thanks for the link it was a bit of help, but I get lost with all of the 
"techno gumbo". I know my syatem fairly well, but I am no guru that is for 
sure. I was able to connect with the oracle gui (after Install), I shut it 
down and have not been able to get it back up. I looked into Oracle 10g and I 
believe the install process  is a bit easier, and they also have another 
option, called Instant client. That is all I need anyway. Apparently sql plus 
is available for linux.. So I am off to venture into the great world of super 
fast downloading large files ;)..
