Response to: Problems installing Oracle on a Dual Proc G5
On the OS 10.2 jaguar it looks like the /etc/sysctl.conf file gets ignored. Looks like there is hardlimit set in 10.2. I could not set the number via the sysctl -w command. When the Oracle instance is started there should be only 5 processes. I am surprised how by changing the number of user processes fixed that as the default is 100 and only 5 are required to get the instance up.

  I upgraded to Panther and was still not able to get an Oracle instance up successfully. I changed the ulimit to set to 500 successfully. I still get a floating point exception. Any ideas on what else i should try
