RE: Copy instead of install

There are some problems. One used to be able to do this fairly easily, but starting with Oracle 9 (I think) the installer has begun to store things such as the hostname in (XML) files during the installation. If you are on a decent OS try

find $ORACLE_HOME -exec grep <your hostname> /dev/null {} \;

Being over 40 and therefore the CLI type (notwithsanding that the slowness of the installer despairs me) I have vaguely begun to find a (unabashedly unsupported) way to get around it, but I have done a context switch (several indeed) since.
