Does Oracle8i installation support character mode?

[qingbo]

Does the Oracle Universal Installer that comes with Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition support character mode? We couldn't proceed with installing Oracle 8.1.6 because of display problem. Any idea how to work around this?

I do not think so.

What kind of display problem??

The installer is capable of running a non-interactive silent installation. See your installation guide for details.

I think there is way in 8.1.6 to do it.
it is through using the Responsible files. '*.rsp'., located on the cd.

you have to first customize the entries in the response files, one of the parameters in responsible showing and not showing the windows.

Replace the original response files with the customized response files in the same directory.

then type in

$ORACLE_HOME\install\orainst.exe
/silent /prd y:\install\nt.prd /install ntinstall
/rspdest y:\installernt.rsp

and the machine will perform the silent install.
