Installing Oracle in text mode using response file
Extract the Oracle installation file. In the client/response directory, you will find a number of response file templates. Choose one and edit the required values. There are only a handful of values that need changes.gunzip 10gr2_client_sol.cpio.gz
cpio -idmv < 10gr2_client_sol.cpio
# As root
mkdir /usr/local/oracle
chown oracle:oinstall /usr/local/oracle
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent -responseFile $PWD/response/install.rsp
# If you put a = in after -responseFile, you will get a TopLevelInstallType error !
cpio -idmv < 10gr2_client_sol.cpio
# As root
mkdir /usr/local/oracle
chown oracle:oinstall /usr/local/oracle
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent -responseFile $PWD/response/install.rsp

Deinstall Oracle with a response file
- One will need gcc installed. Otherwise the install will appear to be successful, but the sqlplus and other binaries will be blank.- In case deinstall fails, remove the Oracle directory. Then edit the "oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml" and remove the previous oracle_home_name so oracle installer won't complain about a previous installation.
Copy install.rsp to deinstall.rsp and edit the value for REMOVE_HOMES to where oracle client was installed.
./runInstaller -silent -deinstall -responseFile=/export/home/oracle/deinstall.dsp
