=== 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.

%%(bash)
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 !
%%

Values in a response file that actually matters -
%%(text;install.rsp)
UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall
FROM_LOCATION="../stage/products.xml"
ORACLE_BASE="/u01/app/oracle"
ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/client"

==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.
