runInstaller silent responsefile

[johan]

I want to install oracle "automatically" via a responsefile...

I am concerned that this installtion is completely automatic, but started to worry about the two scripts root.sh and orainstRoot.sh ..

Do I have to interact with the "silent-responsefile-installation"??

(Oracle 9.2.0.1.0)

Once I had the same idea, but I gave up with it becasue I read that difference between "silent-responsefile-installation" and GUI is that "silent-responsefile-installation" download all GUI but only do not display them.

Yes, I found out that root.sh should be executed after the silent installation.

BUT, the most annoying thing of all is that even though this is a non-gui instalaltion you'll have to set a DISPLAY!!!
Well great!
A non-gui installation that requires a gui!! How's that!..

I believe this problem is java, that requires the DISPLAY variable set...but it's really poor that Oracle can't provide a COMPLETELY non-gui-installation...
