No technology is perfect, but we have numerous users utilising text, silent and response file installations quite successfully, including all the additional post-copy steps the installers undertake. We also have an unpack mode which is much more like an RPM install in that it just lays down the binaries. Simply put, you can just run a command and have it install. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
