Sounds like a good excuse to load up a spare PC with the linux of your choi= ce.

Or use a VMWare session to run linux.

Either can be used to run the Oracle installer.

>From the Xserver machine ( your linux PC )
use xhost to allow an X connection from the Oracle box.
Assuming the Oracle box is frodo

$>  xhost frodo.

use telnet or ssh to logon to the target machine.

set the DISPLAY to the Xserver (your PC - assume it is bilbo )
$> set DISPLAY=3Dbilbo:0.0; export DISPLAY

$>xclock

If xclock worked, runInstaller should work.

This may be somewhat simpler if you use VNC.

HTH.
