[izpack-users] Reg: Command Line User Inputs

[Friend]

Hi Hal,
   
  Thanks a lot for your sharing,
   
  Am stating that there will not be any graphics rendering or windowing related software on the server side, even to have the X11 events,,
   
  Am working on Solaris 9 platform.
   
  All we have even at the server machine's screen is the console and bash shell prompt that it provides to interact with the server, thats it.
   
  There we want the user(server admin may be) to have our product installed from our GUI installer just by finguring necessary user input values at the shell prompt, eventhough ours is the GUI installer.
   
  regards,
   
  Se.

You've probably thought of this, but just in case, let me ask this: If you're 
logging in through ssh, is it on some breed of Unix/BSD/Linux where you can 
forward X11 events? I do that on some of my systems. That way I can run a 
command in the command line, on ssh, and it opens the window on my computer.

Hal
