This is slightly off-topic but may be important to some users.
I have confirmed that devfs enabled Linux systems may exhibit problems
related to the installation of Oracle 8i for Linux. Apparently the problem
is related to the Oracle Installer's inability to properly parse the output
of the df(1) command in order to calculate available disk space (I don't
have the source code for the Installer). The identical install with devfs
disabled has no problems.
There does NOT appear to be a problem enabling devfs after installing
Oracle, however.
