I've try that because the server was secured ... Well, after 2-3 tries of the damn thing not working (or me not able to make it work), I just took a nice walk to the server location and install Oracle in few minutes ;-) . --- Steve Adams a écrit : > Hi Maria, > > You don't need X on the box to run an X application, > all you need is an > X server somewhere that you can talk to.
