Hi Jeff...
Hmm. I'm not certain, as every Oracle installation (db or client) I've
ever done has been from the console. In this particular situation, I seem
to recall that the Oracle 8i installation is an X11 application, and I have
no idea whether it would work even if you had X11 emulation in your telnet
program turned on. Further, you don't state whether you are the
administrator or have administrator rights to the machine you're hoping to
install on -- as root, you'll need to create an 'oracle' user in
(probably) an 'oinstall' group.
So... short story is: I don't think so. If you try it and it turns
out that it does work, please let us know...

Do you know if the Oracle client can beinstalled via the command line? I
don't have access to the box itself, only telnet access.
