installing 10.2 on AIX 5.3 machine
pardon the newbie question.
I just donwloaded oracle 10.2 from the following link
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sof...01aixsoft.html
I unzipped and extracted the file via cpio.
I ran ./Disk1/rootpre/rootpre.sh
I have the following questions:
1) which runInstaller do I need to run would it be ./Disk1/runInstaller
2) I don't have xwindows installed on my system, is there away to install
the software without an xterm session?
3) Will ./Disk1/runInstaller prompt me for a location for my ORACLE_HOME
and that's where the software will be installed too.
Thanks in advance to all who answer this post

Check readme file - everything you need to know is there.

The only README file is under ./Disk1/stage/Components/oracle.rdbms/10.2.0.1.0/1/Datafiles/Expanded/filegroup35. What it the location of the file you are referring too

let me re-phrase. I have xterm and all the X11 utilties installed on my AIX 5.3
machine but I don't have an X-term emulator running on my PC. I am using
putty.
When I run the Oracle universal installer
ie ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
I get a message can't open display.
Is there anyway to install the software that does not require me to have
some type of X-server software running on my PC or is this all GUI based.
can I entire a command line option to setup the software that does not
require X11 software.

Putty is all you need to perform a Silent Mode installation.
Start reading at 1.2

But if he have xterm and all the X11 utilties installed in his PC, he can get the GUI rt,
Also there is one more software like humming bird, this are used to get the GUI while using putty.Also need to export DISPLAY=portnumber:0.0

Guys,
thanks for your help. I downloaded the X11 part of cygwin, which is from GNU
and free and installed that on my PC. This allowed me to create an xterm
session and run the Oracle installer.
Though I do like the idea of running from the command line in silent mode,
filling out those templates look like a pain in the a$$. All I really wanted was
to install the software and there were a million values you needed to file
in (ie stuff for ASM,...) it would be nice if Oralce supplied a template that
will allow you to bypass all "extra" stuff.
FYI, I like to create my own DB's with by hand so I can customize each as
needed.
Once again, thanks for your help and the tip about silent mode was great. I
think I read you can use the installer to create a template for you based on
your answers to the gui, I will try that next time.
