Me I use VNC. |

| The rootpre.sh is run as root which installs post-wait kernel extensions, that is the only item that should be installed by root. You should create a user, oracle or something else, to own the installation of Oracle. To run the installer, you need vnc or X to install. HTH, Pete's |
