Thanks for the offer to test. I'll send you the package under separate cover. Maybe eventually it will cool hell by a couple degrees.
Instant Client's license looks non-free but distributable to me. You could always do a database install and choose not to create a starter database, and you would get a working client (plus 1.3GB of useless-to-you software with it!). Or if you choose "Custom" for install type and provide a DBCA response file... but I'm talking silly now. Let me know if you package it; otherwise I'll put it on my TODO list for whenever the database package is mature. --- Kai Hendry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Cool idea! > > I recently installed Oracle 10g on a couple of machines and it was > *hell*. :/ > > I am willing to test this package.
