Re: newbie Q: installing Oracle on machine without graphic adapter (cygwin)?

Cygwin has an add on module for X-client software (similar to exceed) and is free. It's a straight forward installation and it works better than the exceed as far as oracle install is concerned. Using exceed I was unable to move/minimize the oracle installer gui window, but with cygwin I can minimize as well as move the window.
