[SunHELP] Not enough memory roor (what is a "roor"?)

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

 Currently, only the Enterprise Edition of Oracle is offered in a 64-bit format. Oracle is
supposed to 
be releasing a 64-bit version of their Standard Edition sometime "soon", but when we were
inquiring 
about it we couldn't get anyone to give a release date on it.

 Was the System Admin. or DBA not brought in on the planning of this system? Also,
are you certain that the tunable kernel parameters really are correct? You don't seem
to have included them here for verification.

 It's a full-blown 64-bit environment (re: Solaris 7), what is at question?
