Re: How to install Oracle without X-Window

Oracle 8.1.5 and on no longer support character mode installs (lame!).

You only options are:
1) Use a non-interactive response file

    (I tried this for hours today, and kept getting java.lang.NullPointerException errors).
2) hook it up to a network with another workstation that has a monitor.

    run "xhost +" on the workstation, and type "DISPLAY=worsktationsipaddress:0" on the server.

    You will be able to run the installation on the server and see the display on the workstation.
