newbie trouble
I am new to this yesterday. I just got Unix installed. I am trying to load oracle, but get the message "Not enough permission or not enought drive space". It won't install when I log in as root. Any suggestions? or at least some info on how to make my question more clear.

Can you define your hdd Space on your system? Also What Unix OS are you running ? Solaris, FreeBSD, AIX, Linux ? Best if your could post the result of uname -a

Hard Drive Space. Sorry. I am running Solaris 8.

if its a space issue and you're install partition seems ok on space, check your /tmp. Oracle likes to eat up temp space during an install. Also, create a user oracle with group of dba and install using that, its not a good idea to install Oracle as root (although you do need root permissions to finish the install).
