I agree, but I would recommend storing at least the SQL*Net and oracle.ini files on the LAN drive. The DBA/LAN administrator might indeed want to change the oracle.ini or tnsnames.ora file on the fly. Absent a good softdisk mechanism to all client pc's, storing these files on the LAN is the easiest way to do that.
