This is what I see:

I go to Metalink
I click on the Patches tab
I choose 10.2.0.2 (I do not see a 10.2.0.1 on that page)

It is on the next page I get lost:

Depending on what I put in the search criteris ("DBMS Server" or "Oracle Database Family") I get different results.

Most of the time I get no results found.

So, I'm hoping someone can help me with getting to the list of patches.....

Thanks!
