2.10.3 Installing from a Remote CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Drive

If the computer where you want to install Oracle Application Server does not have a
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, you can perform the installation from a remote
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
You can run the installer on a remote computer ("remote_computer"), but have the
installer screens display on your local computer ("local_computer"). The installer will
install Oracle Application Server on the remote computer.
