How can I install oracle9i without video card

Hi,I want to install oracle9i in my HP-UX11 Server. but oracle9i need be installed in graphic mode.
I haven't video card on my HP Server. Just heard I can install it from a client with X-window. I want to use one Linux client to do it. But I don't know the details about how to
use these X session to remote the Server.
I need you give me some helps?
And I can't confirm whether my Server with X11.
Can you tell me how to confirm whether my Server can be remoted by these X sessions?
Thank you very much

Best regards
PEI

Re: How can I install oracle9i without video card

Hi,

Yes, you can simply export the display out from your HP-UX server onto your Linux X display.

1) From your Linux client (assume 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of your HP-UX server):

# xhost +1.2.3.4

2) From your HP-UX server (assume 12.34.56.78 is the IP address of your Linux client),

# export DISPLAY=12.34.56.78:0.0

3) From your HP-UX server, launch the Oracle installer.

Hope this helps. Regards.

If you couldn't be bothered installing linux (if you don't have it already) download a trial version of reflection X from http://www.wrq.com/

Connect to your hpux server, via xdm if you like.. and you don't even have to set your display then..

Later,
Bill
It works for me (tm)

Hi,Thanks for your advices.
I try the way as your words. set the xhost and
the DISPLAY. The x-window was out at my
client.It's very exciting. I think I can go on
my installing.
Thanks you so much.
