Re: Kernel

[Ahbaid Gaffoor <ahbaidg guyana net gy>]

Hi Charles,

thanks for the tip...

I am apprehensive about trying this but I have no qualms about having to
reload the
box I will attempt this on....

Oracle recommends that some of the kernel parameters be increased, and as I am

not making much headway I am tempted to go this route in an attempt to move

That's sort of wordy, sorry....

Anyway, thanks for the tip... it's what I needed...

regards,

Ahbaid.
