Thanks for the advice. I might have to look into that if there is no other way.

This system doesn't have X installed, it wasn't a default install. I strongly prefer not to have to install X, too. This was why I was hoping to get more info on doing it without X.

This box is behind a very slow link, remote administration using a gui will be quite laggy. Has oracle really moved so far away from cli that you can't do things without X?

Sadly, I don't think I will be able to afford VMware anytime soon.

*sigh*

Anybody else out there with more advice?
