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.
