It gets very tiring.

But in answer to Johnathan Lewis's concern ... I always check the country of origin ... and I am very restrained when it is a case that someone has English as a second or tertiary language.

In this case the operative phrase I was reacting to was "stripping down" which is not something you learn in DBA class. And is, in the vernacular the equivalent of "gutting" as in removing the innards of a fish. If the poster had even read the first readme file on the CD, or glanced at the initSID.ora file he would have found adequate information on creating a small footprint.

But the footprint of an Oracle database is not something you determine independent of evaluating the needs of the instance. At least not if you want it to run.
