Hi,

I've found no way to prevent the installation of these files, but you can remove some of them:
- assistents/dbca/templates are sort of compress offline backups of demo databases. Just remove those files.

- demo contains demos - you don't really need them, so remove.
- oow_annotator.mov is kind of demo movie, remove this file.
- ctx/* is intermedia stuff, may be required.

BTW: Things are getting (slightly) better on 9i Rel.2.

One of the most disk space requiring tool is the Enterprise Manager (>300M). I usually remove it using the OUI.

Usually, a installation contains ~1G.

Regards
Stephan
