RE: Unorthodox 8i install/upgrade

Mike:
I've unzipped a patch to a mount point different from /oracle (again for space constraint considerations) and installed from there. It was a separate stage, since the stage directory was created as part of the unzip process.

I just pointed the OUI to that mount point/stage when I installed.

Worked fine.

Good luck!
