Page the Oracle

Hi all: Has anyone (Roger?) tried to install oracle 9i on a SuSE box? I received a copy of 9i (time locked I assume) with no documentation and keep getting segmentation errors when I try to load it as pe the instructions. It seems to be clashing with the Java running on the machine?? I triedto upload screen shotsand text files as a guide to what error messages I am getting but they did not go through. Anyone know of any how-tos? Paul
