Hi,
Again it looks like I've been thinking faster than I was typing. Yes,
after I realized that I had used "su -" to run the command as oracle I
also realized this was causign the X forwarding to fail. So, as you
wrote, after logging in as oracle via ssh with X forwarding enabled I
was able to start the installer, hence the [Solved] in the subject line.
Sorry again if I wasn't clear.
Regards
Bram
