10.2.0.3 cloning installation

Question

Hello,
I am experiencing technical issues with my cloned installation, i wanted at first doing a full complete silent installation using SE.rsp, dbca.rsp and patch.rsp but could not get through at all so many parameters and so many bugs to solve out.
I have decided to do a cloned installation:
First of all,do i have to set up only the 10.2.0.3 version including the patch or do i have to set up the database also to get a full ORACLE_HOME that i ll bve able to compress afterward?
To be honnest i have the oracle procedure with scripts but cannot get trough, if anyone has already done a full cloned installation, i ll be very happy to share its experience.
Thank you

Hi,
Oh i forgot to tell that i am installing under windows XP pro, 2008 server and 2003 server.
Basicaly,
I have already installed binairies with patches / config my database using dbca config tool / doing an import from a dump using import export tool / the following step is to create template from the database just created still using GUI
that i can use for my cloned installation. All steps with GUI
thel situation is everything is ok
ORACLE_ROOT: D:\Oracle
ORACLE_HOME: D:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\db_adn
SID: ADN
USER: 1 and 2 both running properly
the next step must to compress ORACLE_HOME without *.log; *.dbf; sqlnet.ora; listener.ora; tnsnames.ora
ORACLE_HOME/<hostname>_<SID>
ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_<hostname>_<SID>
and replacing Standard database templates by mines
Do i have to copy first the ORACLE_HOME before deleting all files above?
What is the next step?
regards,
Chris
