"Silent" Install of Oracle 10g Client

　　Check out ORACLE_HOME\oui\guide\oui.pdf. If you search for silent
install, it has some directions.
　　Creating a Response File With Record Mode
You can create a new response file, based on the installation options you select, by
using OUI’s record mode.
When you use record mode, OUI records the installation session into a response file.
You specify the name of the response file on the command line. The recorded response
file is generated immediately after the Summary page, so you don’t need to actually
install your Oracle product to create the response file.
In other words, you can start the installation in Record mode and proceed through the
installation options until you get to the Summary page. On the Summary Page, click
Exit to stop the installation from proceeding with the installation. However, all the
options you selected will be saved in the resulting response file.
You can use the newly created response file to run identical installation sessions on
other computers in your organization.
Record mode can be also used during a silent installation. In those cases, the variable
values specified in the original source response file will be recorded into the new
response file.
The following sections describe how to use record mode on Windows and UNIX
systems.
　　Using Record Mode
To record a new response file:
1. At the command prompt, use the cd command to change to the directory that
contains the OUI executable file (setup.exe or runInstaller.sh) for your
installation.
2. Enter the following command:
setup -record -destinationFile <response_file_name> (on Windows)
./runInstaller -record -destinationFile <response_file_name> (on UNIX)
Replace the <response_file_name> with the complete path for the new
response file. For example:
setup -record -destinationFile C:\response_files\install_oracle910 (on Windows)
./runInstaller -record -destinationFile /private/temp/install_oracle91.rsp (on
UNIX)
3. Use the OUI user interface to select your installation options. These will be
recorded.
When OUI displays the Summary page, you can either continue with the
installation or exit.
OUI saves your new response file using the path and file name you specified on
the command line.
