Yep - it's an Easter Egg hunt and they keep moving the eggs.

I did find that you can (at least on the Solaris 817 release I have now) install CM from the menu alone, but it does come up with the server box checked. You can uncheck everything else though and just get CM. Just don't understand why they don't include it with the client package.

It was only recently though, that I found SQLoader in the client - had to go through the same nonsense to install that whenever we wanted to load data from a different machine.

But it's all fun and we get paid for it, right?
