    G'day All,

    Thanks go to Paul Roetman, Yasuyuki Hirata, Peter Bauer, Angelo Roberto
    Bonfieti Junior and Net Comrade for their suggestions. Most suggested to
    set the DISPLAY variable (it was) and to unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Paul had
    seen something similar which had to do with long path names. The
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH was not set however, and the pathname /cdrom/cdrom0 is
    under 100 chars long, even after Oracle's multiple additions of
    ../../back/here style redirects (why do they do this, one wonders..).

    Eventually we tried to use a response file, which theoretically should
    cause it to install Oracle unattended.

    ./runInstaller -responseFile /my/responseFile

    Whilst it completely failed to do that, this caused the rather ugly and
    obnoxious splash screen to be skipped and the java-based installer
    started normally. Apparently the

    > Error in CreateOUIProcess(): 14
    > : Bad address

    message then was caused somehow when the java program tried to display
    the splash screen..
