Silent install of the oracle 11gr2 client

I am trying to install an Oracle client on a crusty old Fedora Core 3 server. I wasn't able to get x-windows working so I decided to do a silent install, and ran into an issue with the server not having swap space. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? Thanks.

Code:

[oracle-ldap-01] ~/product/client > ./runInstaller -silent -ignorePrereq -force -responseFile client_install.rsp Starting Oracle Universal Installer... Checking Temp space: must be greater than 80 MB. Actual 3230 MB Passed Checking swap space: 0 MB available, 150 MB required. Failed <<<< Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before continuing with the installation, Exiting Oracle Universal Installer, log for this session can be found at /tmp/OraInstall2011-01-27_09-03-38AM/installActions2011-01-27_09-03-38AM.log

Try this:

Code:

./runInstaller -silent -ignorePrereq -responseFile ...etc...

That is almost the same command that I was using. No luck.

Code:

[oracle-ldap-01] ~/product/client > ./runInstaller -silent -ignorePrereq -responseFile client_install.rsp Starting Oracle Universal Installer... Checking Temp space: must be greater than 80 MB. Actual 3233 MB Passed Checking swap space: 0 MB available, 150 MB required. Failed <<<< Some requirement checks failed.

I think the option is -ignoreSysPrereq

[oracle-ldap-01] ~/product/client > ./runInstaller -silent -ignoreSysPrereq -noconfig -ignorePrereq -responseFile client_install.rsp

Or....Re-size a partition and create the swap.
