none.  Just followed Oracle's suggestions.  Some parameters I put for
modification in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local during system startup.  The rest
(that dealt w/ user environment) I put in /etc/profile.

Like I said, either the system sees all the memory or it doesn't.  I
believe after 1Gb of memory you need the 4Gb option, then after 4Gb you
need the 64Gb option.  Just check what the system sees using free.

Their system works great. I do all the Linux specific stuff for them,
their Oracle DBA does all the Oracle stuff (real hard with the Netscape
GUI; not at all like the Oracle 7 I remember on HP-UX or AIX w/ CLI
only).

Ciao,
