I install Oracle regularly on Centos and RHEL 5.3. I must be missing
something...
I just ssh -X from a laptop and the installer displays on the laptop. I
have found out from past experience that if you use DBCA (Database
Creation Assistant it fails over SSH. It still wants to use old way
(export DISPLAY=laptopip:0.0)
Of course if you don't have a second computer, than you would have to
install X11.
So is that what the problem was? no second computer?
