It took me and a consultant about 3 long days to install Oracle 7.2 on an SCO system. The biggest problem was a bug in one of their programs and we could not get the "standard package" to be created. I called tech support (US) and they didn't know what was happening. I can't exactly remember what happened but I was able to find out that there was a patch for the problem for a non-us Oracle support person. I have learn through a couple of experiences that if you need to call oracle tech support for install problems or whatever, you can save time by getting non-US support. Also Oracles scripts definitly could use improvement.
