jre problem
Hi, Today I tried to install oracle8i on my Potato box with glibc upgraded and jdk1.1 from unstable. The installer program failed to invoke the 'dbassist', when i run it from command line, jre said: Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread Could not create Java VM So i wrote a "Hello,world" java program, jre gives the same error message but "java" works. Any suggestion? Thx. (Sorry, I know little about java)

That being the case, I would suggest using the jdk > or jre available as debs through www.blackdown.org. Not exactly the case. I had some experience on oracle7 and I just want to learn the newst version for my job. For my own case I'd choose MySQL. And I have no interesting about the java stuff because the war between M$ and $un and others and to my knowledge there isn't any GPLed jdk/jre, the jdk1.1 in unstable is from blackdown.org, isn't it? And because I find on oracle's web page that they don't offer the patch for 8.1.5 any more i decide to give up it. Anyway thanks for the reply.

Thanks --hans Have you use the 'top' program to find which process consume most of the resource? 'top' can show a list of the processes sorted by resource consumption(CPU, MEM etc.).
