Open Manage Server Agent on Linux w/o XWindows?

We don't use XWindows here on our servers so if possible i would like to install OMSA without installing XWindows.  Also, is it possible to install only the server agent w/o the rest of the package?  Any and all help would be appreciated!

Thanks much,

Shaun

all you have to do is have omsa 1.6 or better and run ./start.sh -license

You don't say if you have any client machines running X Windows (could be a PC with eXceed or Cygwin/X) - if you do, then just "export DISPLAY=name_of_client_display:0.0" before you run start.sh.

If you have a Linux client box running X, make sure X forwarding for ssh is turned on (check /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config) and then just ssh into your server and secure shell will "magically" set the DISPLAY variable back to your client machine.
