Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: runInstaller -- Linux help?

add to the mix the fact that I am supposed to be moving from one building to another (the date of the move keeps changing) and don't want to get caught in the middle of the install as the movers show up (NO! don't touch that machine! OH CRUD!)
