I did spot that the reference was specifically SW files, though given
that even my somewhat bloated laptop 10gr2 install is only 1.88gb
without any management of the logs in it, I'd hoped/guessed that the
database/logs were included. My expectation is that compressing the
software directory will also technically work, but I have never been
that desparate for space. 

...when they are uncompressed they will likely have messed up permission
though, no?


Don't datafiles and arch_logs end up in the $ORACLE_HOME directory by
default on all platforms? $ORACLE_HOME/dbs on *nix i thought. 

ORACLE_BASE/oradata if it exists...at least that is what I see
