Install Oracle 8.1.6 on OpenUnix

Hi everybody,

I try to install Oracle 8.1.6 on OpenUnix with OUI. I have an error during the installation (There was a problem in accessing the staging area.Please make sure the specified value or source and destination are valid)

What does it mean.

Thanks a lot.

It means the path OUI read for the staging area is bad/does not exist. Make sure the path reflects where the CD-ROM (or from wherever) is located (/cdrom/oracle/...., not /cdrom/oracle#1/...).
