described in Section 2.8, "Environment Variables" .
local_computer> rlogin -l oracle remote_computer.mydomain.com
- OR -
local_computer> telnet remote_computer.mydomain.com

Note: You can use a PC X emulator to run the installer if it
supports a PseudoColor color model or PseudoColor visual. Set the
PC X emulator to use a PseudoColor visual, and then start the
installer. Refer to the X emulator documentation for instructions on
how to change the color model or visual settings.
