How to install Oracle on a text-mode Linux box

The environment:
1) Computer 1: my Fedora 7 linux. Installed in text-
mode only. No X-server, no-gnome and no-kde.
Computer 1 IP: 192.168.1.9
2) Computer 2: some computer with X-server capability.
In my case I used CYGWIN on a WinXP machine.
Computer 2 IP: 192.168.1.79

HowTO:
a) Setup Fedora 7 as usual:

==========================================================================================
under /home/oracle... unpack oracle 10.2.0.1
unzip 10201_database_linux32.zip
and it will create a folder called "database"
and to install oracle we run: (after all the below
setup be finished)
cd database
./runInstaller &

/etc/sysctl.conf file:

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then

if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536

fi

==========================================================================================

b) On CYGWIN (X-Server box)

In my case... in WinXP... I ran:

Start -> Run ->

"C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat"

It will open a terminal screen:

==> you must authorize linux box (192.168.1.9) to
connect onto this X-server:
==> run: xhost +192.168.1.9

mson77@192.168.1.79 ~
$ ssh oracle@192.168.1.9

yes

(by the way... f7vmware is 192.168.1.9... is a F7 host

under VMware, in my case)
