I am a complete newbie to Oracle
i have linux redhat (OEL rel 5) on the development server, that is being used for my project.
i wanted to install oracle client version 10.2.0.1 on my box.
i decided to use silent mode installation, but i am unable to find proper steps in making a response file and running installer in silent mode

i went throught the manuals and refered some of the sites, but there is lots of confusion regarding the pre-installation tasks like setting the environment variables,etc

Please help me with silent mode installation steps and other important pre-installation tasks

There's no confusion at all. Oracle has very clear installation documents on their site.

And if you can't get silent mode to work, why don't you just install it manually? If you're only doing one machine, you could already be done.
