Nikki,
There is the system administration guide, the server and workstation administration guide and the ERP 8 installation/upgrade manual. The first 2 guides are the same for Xe and ERP8 for now. ANy resource you need you should be able to find on the KG. There is also some white papers on known issues for installing and upgrading to ERP 8. I actually will begin my ERP 8 upgrade on 2/3/03. I would advise you to dounload the latest planner ESU for ERP 8 also the latest service pack because ERP 8 came with SP 19 that had a lot of issues including package build issues, also spend some time reading through the install manual it will help a lot when you actually begin to implement. My setup os very similar Sun Ent. Oracle Database.
