hi,
i tried installing dotlrn using the openacs 4.6.1 beta 2 tarball that u mentioned.
we got some missing packages and the dotlrn packages using the following cvs.
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot co \
         acs-datetime acs-developer-support acs-events acs-mail-lite \
         attachments bulk-mail calendar faq file-storage forums general-comments \
         news notifications ref-timezones user-preferences
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@dotlrn.openforce.net:/dotlrn-cvsroot co dotlrn-core
now we get a diff error while opening
http://servername/dotlrn/admin
we are using oracle 8.1.7
