The best way to install non-OFA is to install 7.3.2.1 and choose

the "Add Software" option.  It will not ask you for a mount point.
Then you upgrade to 7.3.2.2 or 7.3.2.3 and one of things that gets
upgraded is the installer.  After you have the software installed

and upgraded then run the installer again and create the database objects.

Hope this clears it up a bit more. Received on Wed Dec 18 1996 - 00:00:00 CST
