That's fine. I was thinking more along the lines of
an Oracle-Install-HOWTO with chapters that cover the
various version-specific installation information. A
user could quickly jump to the chapter needed. Having one
HOWTO would also allow for more information "reuse" - license
info, related sites/resources, whatever else might be generic
to the install process across versions.
Since I'm not 100% familiar with the product, I'm not
sure this makes sense, but I wanted to pose the question
to you.
thanks,
