I don't know about 9.2, but doing *remote* installs with 8i is just about impossible. It's Java, specifically that crappy byte-code verification, that makes it a painful process. Oracle ought to rethink that, and at least offer non-java alternatives ala Veritas Netbackup. Obviously some of the other respondents here have a different notion of "remote".
