Re: Installing Oracle.

Michael,
Actually my system tablespace alone is 200 - 300MB when I create database instances. You really need several Gb to do a complete install - though you can remove the copies of the 3 install CDs after you are done - if you don't think that you will need to go back and install anything else. By the way, this weekend I went to a local electronics store and found that they were selling 60Gb drives for $79. They actually were having a sale on one model and the 60Gb drive (IBM or Maxtor - I don't remember which) was less expensive than the 30Gb drives from the same manufacturer.

If you are doing silent installs of Oracle, you might want to take a look at some of the scripts I have written which perform automated installations: Here is a list of the scripts for a Solaris installation: http://www.dotcomsolutionsinc.net/products/installgen/installgen_files_sol90 1.html

You can download all of the scripts here (for Oracle9i on Windows and Solaris):
