Oracle client and .net

I want to connect to an oracle database from my client pc, OS is win2k or XP.

Can I connect to an oracle database without having the full oracle client
installed? If so what would be the minimum install on the client to get this
connection? Oracle version is 9i?

I found the .NET Managed Provider for Oracle and it looked like it still
needed the oracle client?
