Re: oracle installation using packages

Mmmmhhhh, yes, I could store the whole install archive (tar) into a package, install this one on the target machine and do a silent install (without the need to write a script for this purpose, because it.s an "onboard" feature offered by the oracle installer). But, I guess I didn't mention it before... 1. I need a lot of disk space to do this 2. Even the silent install needs to execute a root.sh script.. ( I guess you know this one....).
3. And I don.t have the gcc package on each target machine ( installation is for a suse linux enterprise 8 = sles8).

Perhaps I could do

1. an install on a machine which has all the packages I need (gcc, etc.).
2. Store this installation (like a tar cvf $ORACLE_BASE) into a rpm package...
3. Install this package on a target machine.... and... Don't know whether this is the way to go... I guess I need to do some "relinking" stuff, etc....?
