Alright, i'm going to try and FTP it directly, like Maria said. 

This is my Linux box:
[/home/oracle/patch/OPatch:oracle]_at_blah# uname -a Linux blah 2.6.18-128.1.1.0.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Feb 10 15:02:51 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I'm still a little confused from the Grid Control installed... well, the 10.2.0.0 install was ok, but the upgrade to Release 5 was what confused me.  There's 3 ORACLE_HOMES, with the OMS, Agent and the actual database, from what i can see.  When i upgraded the release 5, it had runInstall for OMS home and Agent Home, but nothing for the DB home.  Everything came up after i installed it originally, but those 3 homes is why this OPatch upgrade come to my attention in the first place.

[/home/oracle/patch/OPatch:oracle] cd $ORACLE_HOME
[/home/oracle/OracleHomes/oms10g:oracle]# cd OPatch
[/home/oracle/OracleHomes/oms10g/OPatch:oracle]# opatch version

Invoking OPatch 10.2.0.4.5
OPatch Version: 10.2.0.4.5
OPatch succeeded.

[/home/oracle/OracleHomes/oms10g/OPatch:oracle]# cd ../../db10g
[/home/oracle/OracleHomes/db10g:oracle]# cd OPatch
[/home/oracle/OracleHomes/db10g/OPatch:oracle]# opatch version

Invoking OPatch 10.2.0.1.0
OPatch Version: 10.2.0.1.0
OPatch succeeded.
[/home/oracle/OracleHomes/db10g/OPatch:oracle]# cd ../../agent10g/OPatch [/home/oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g/OPatch:oracle]# opatch version Invoking OPatch 10.2.0.4.5
OPatch Version: 10.2.0.4.5
OPatch succeeded.

This db10g home has a lower version of OPatch, so, that's the main spot i want to install it. did i do something wrong in the first place when installing Grid? :(

Lyall,

Please make sure that you have the 10.2.0.4 patchset applied to that home. You used the string "10.2.0.1 db home" in your post.

Typically I use the "-skip_duplicates" switch on Linux. What OS is this?
