When you say *the one* at http://docs.oracle.com, did you mean: -
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=install.102%2Fb15690%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Books%29 -http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=install.102%2Fb28053%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Books%29 -
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14196/toc.htm -
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15694/toc.htm

There's also two quick-installs for that platform - one about 20 pages and the other about 40 pages - that I downloaded (yes, from docs.oracle.com. Have you ever looked there?) ... onto my Solaris machine (which is not currently booted, so I don't have the reference handy).

What is it that I have I done?

I never said I "did" anything. I admitted that I had trouble knowing which of the above to use. But runInstaller completed successfully.

So, what was it that I did that was wrong?

(that's all I ever wanted to know - that, and whether it was intended that the bin directory should be 750. Instead all I get is the faithful - "it is supposed to be whatever it is - assuming you did the install right". Hopefully that's not what I can expect of purchased Oracle support).
