I think the point Richard was trying to make was that you may select modules to be installed as shared, etc but now autoinstall is creating *all* db objects (tables, views, stored procedures etc) most likely using a 0% sizing factor. In the past, they just installed specific shared objects. Now, they have opted for the thermonuclear installation approach. ;-) I *wondered* why there was SUCH an increase in size requirements for R10.  

This is his main gripe with the process. As I understand his original post, by doing this, Autoinstall overwrote a table he had already had in a third party system. Seems this package had the same Oracle username as one of the manufacturing modules and it zapped the table. Very odd. Glancing at my handy dandy 10.5 install guide it says you have to provide the oracle name and password. Richard, is this a correct assessment of what happened to you?
