Migrating Oracle Names to 10g OID

I'm researching how to migrate Oracle Names (8.1.7.4, if that matters) to OID 10g. Problem is that I can't find any information on how to even *install* OID in 10g. Has anyone figured out how to install 10g OID standalone? I've opened a TAR on it, but the response I was given was terse, incorrect, and incomplete. I'm afraid to try it again...

What I'm looking to do is install OID 10g into an existing 10.2 DB on Linux (I'll say "RedHat" for the sake of argument). At best, I've found vague references to the Repository Creation Assistant which is apparently required for OID, but the documentation on that is even incorrect at best. It says the DB must be "... or 10.1.4.0 or better". Apparently that doesn't include 10.2, because it fails the minimum DB requirement. Perhaps I need to also install Oracle 10.1 software and create a 10.1 DB?

It's a shame that Oracle recommends using a product (Oracle Names), says then to migrate to a newer product (OID), but doesn't provide instructions on how that's supposed to happen. Of course, after downloading the Oracle AS suite (apparently that's where the OID software is now???) I received the obligatory call from Sales asking what I thought of it....

Has anyone successfully installed 10g OID into an existing DB? If so, how???

TIA,
Rich
