Jeff,

  As far as I know, you cannot get *only* the Oracle client for Linux. 
 When I called Oracle Worldwide Support and asked for one, they sent me the 
whole Oracle 8i installation package for Linux.  No problem, though -- when 
you start the install on your Linux machine, you can choose to install only 
the client.   That's what I did, and it's working fine connecting to the 
Oracle 8i database on our Sun.

Subject:        [PHP-DB] Oracle Client to connect to remote DB

I read a post on faqt.com that said that I could connect to a remote Oracle
DB if I had the Oracle client installed.  Does anyone know where I can get 
a
copy of only the client for Linux?  I don't want to install the whole 
Oracle
package, I use MySQL on the server, but have a client that is needing to
connect to an Oracle DB on their server from mine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeff
