I was able to copy the DEPLOY subdirectory onto a local disk drive, and then to a CD. Just be careful that you end up with the same directory structure on the new CD as you have on the real Oracle CD. However, all I did was replace a few Oracle files (TNSNAMES.ORA for example). I did not need to modify any other files, and after looking at them, I was sure glad. Good luck, and let us know if you manage to figure anything out with those files.
