I actually don't understand this stupid aggression.

 If you would have read the whole message before starting to snort like a raging bull, maybe you would have understood that the point of concern is that the oracle installer does not allow me at all to write a response file that sets the following parameters (in oracle 8.1.7)

max_enabled_roles=148
QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED=TRUE
QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY=TRUSTED
NLS_SORT=BINARY
STAR_TRANSFORMATION_ENABLED=TRUE
JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES = 10 And this is the only thing I was complaining about in the "response file" solution for automatic installations.

Since :

1. will have customers spread all over Europe
2. when we are lucky, the "computer guy" of our customers is the one who knows how to format a diskette
3. usually, it is sufficent the symcjit.dll incompatibility with the pentium 4 processors to make them upset
4. they speak a different language than mine
5. they use windows clients than run a different language than mine
6. the oracle installer, on their PCs, runs in a different language than on mine...
7. it usually takes 2 hours to explain them how to download and install a VNC server in order to execute the installation process by myself
8. many of them do not even have a reliable modem (!) access to the internet

I simply want to find a way to give them some install instructions that won't be more complicated than:

1. insert the install CD
2. press OK
3. press OK
4. press OK
5. have a beer.

Maybe I will have to explain that "OK" refers to a button drawn on the screen and not to an actual key on the keyboard, but this is a stress I can handle... Some pick up the phone even because the instructions mentioned a "OK" button, and the only available button was "Continue", if this can give you a better idea...

 so, is it there a way of solving this problem?

  (a LEGAL way, i mean, for those who feel their blood pressure raising)

Thanks.
