11.5.10 install

I'm trying to install EBS 11.5.10 on Suse Linux.
First I created a staging area on my external hard disk. I found out, a few files (*.zip) could not be copied...Disk7 from the Database1 dvd and disk6 from the first APPL_TOP dvd.
All the other files went well, so I decided to download the bad disk from the Oracle E-delivery site. After downloaded and burned the cd's..the copy to my staging area went fine.
So, today I can begin the install. It's running right now, unzipping files from the RDBMS disk.
To be continued....

The recyclebin feature does not work for sys objects
If you realy want to delete the table and release the space, use the purge command.

Patching HP unix

It has been a few days since my last post. I have had a change of project.
I am working on a internal project.
The last two days I have been patching unix....
I have never done this before. I am used to install Oracle patches using adpatch, but now I had to use swinstall and swremove.
