I personally think we shouldn't unzip/stage the installation files in the
shared directories - which really means unzipping them back onto the your
host drive. Personally I've been unzipping them into /u01/stage and
running the installer from there, and I think this would be a better
approach.
Benefit of unzipping to the host is that you don't have do repeat after
destroying and re-initializing vagrant. Drawback is performance and
potential inconsistencies depending on what FS the user's laptop is using.
