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.
