I assume that 'no remote network' means a single PC, but one with a network card? If so, not a problem. Even without a network card, so long as there's a loop-back adapter, you can install the entire thing, client and server, onto a single PC and make effective use of it. I further assume this is to learn and experiment, and in that case, I'd suggest you visit technet.oracle.com and download the entire Enterprise Edition CDs (all three of 'em!).

Depending on which version of Red Hat you are using, you might find a trip to www.dizwell.com to be of use: if it's 9, then you'll find full installation instructions there, plus instructions on setting up Oracle's networking,
