Bear in mind that using OEM to do this requires a license for provisioning pack @ ~$3500 per processor (I don't remember the exact price off the top of my head).

Silent installs are *much* faster than the GUI to. Just script the installer silent with a canned response file, then call opatch to apply the patches in the proper order. It may not be a ton faster, but certainly much less labor intensive.

What do folks use for quick Oracle installation? Is it runInstaller with multiple steps of upgrades and patches *or* is there a faster way?
