Re: Installing a client only on Linux and Solaris

Thanks for the reply but when I do a custom install, only these options are available to me:

Install New Product - Create DB Objects              x  x  x
Install New Product - Do Not Create DB Objects       x  x  x
Add/Upgrade Software                                 x  x  x
Build Oracle8 Staging Area                           x  x  x
Install Documentation Only                           x  x  x
De-Install Software                                  x  x  x
Migrate from ORACLE7 to ORACLE8                      x  x  x

If I continue, it will start installing the server (I think. I never proceeded past mountpoint assuming it would install the server after I specified mount point).
