install Oracle on a text-mode Linux box

The environment:
1) Computer 1: my Fedora 7 linux. Installed in text-mode
only. No X-server, no-gnome and no-kde.
Computer 1 IP: 192.168.1.9
2) Computer 2: some computer with X-server capability. In
my case I used CYGWIN on a WinXP machine.
Computer 2 IP: 192.168.1.79

HowTO:
a) Setup Fedora 7 as usual:

============================================================
==============================
under /home/oracle... unpack oracle 10.2.0.1
unzip 10201_database_linux32.zip
and it will create a folder called "database"
and to install oracle we run: (after all the below setup be
finished)
cd database
./runInstaller &

/etc/sysctl.conf file:

kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536

.bash_profile (oracle user)

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
fi

b) On CYGWIN (X-Server box)
In my case... in WinXP... I ran:

Start -> Run -> "C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat"

It will open a terminal screen:
==> you must authorize linux box (192.168.1.9) to connect
onto this X-server:
==> run: xhost +192.168.1.9

mson77@192.168.1.79 ~
$ ssh oracle@192.168.1.9
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.9 (192.168.1.9)' can't
be established.
RSA key fingerprint is
7a:43:73:7d:3c:a2:05:9a:4a:7f:6f:c1:23:08:f1:55.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.9' (RSA) to the list
of known hosts.
