[Quoted] Anyway, I asked the question on Metalink, but did not get an answer yet :o

[Quoted] Previously Oracle discontinued the quite reliable installer in text mode with the silly and buggy GUI runInstaller they are using now, making it impossible to install the product on a server without X and there can be added other inconveniences ...

Not mentioning other hazardous decisions ...
