Write your reply.

assistant: I've a NW3.12 server, with 32 MO memory.
I tried to install Oracle on the server, from a cdrom.
with monitor, the cache buffers are
at 11 MO and the cache movable buffers at 12.
Then load install, pinstall, and the product after begining installation says
:
"not enough memory to install Oracle 7, I need 14 MO of free memory I have
only 11"
I tried to increase the buffers, with set minimum file cahce buffers=1000
but I could only get 12 instead of 11.
I think Pinstall is not able to use the 24 MO wich are realy free ...
of course, nobody's connected (I unloaded the NE2000 driver !) no big NLM
loaded : this server has been running on a 16 MO server for monthes !
What can I do ?
  thanks for Help

Subject: CNE/CNA Certification
The CNA exam is a single test whereas to obtain CNE certification, it
requires that you pass 7 different exams. Each test costs $85 and is
given at an authorized location. Contact Novell for a location near
you. From what I have read, Novell will no longer certify "paper
CNE's". That is, people who do NOT take the classes. I am not positive
on this and you may want to check.

NO!!!!!!  Don't do it this way.  You'll loose lots.
There are two ways to upgrade to 4.1, either in place or across the wire.  In
place has the advantage of requiring minimal extra equipment, but if you
perform an in place, you cannot take advantage of compression and
suballocation.
Across the wire migration allows you to move to new hardware, reorg things
and implement compression and suballocation.  Normally the users will require
new passwords, but there are tricks you can use to keep the passwords.
