The installer runs a GUI interface, unless you are on a graphics
console, you will need some sort of X client/server from which to run
the install from. 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,
