It is equivalent to the question:
How to install oracle on a remote system?

Are we talking about standard command-line telnet? Or over an XTerm
connection?

What happens if it is just a standard command-line telnet?:
Say you telnet to a remote linux box from your windows box and try
running dbca...can you do that?
<<<<<and>>>>>
What if it is over an Xterm connection?...An Xterm connection...I did
find some notes depicting some thing as follows:
>>>if you start the telnet session from a Linux machine:

on db server:
export DISPLAY=machinename-from-where-you-started-tellne-session:0.0

on machinename-from-where-you-started-tellne-session:
xhost +dbservername

on db server:
xterm

It all looks a bit muddled to me...could you brief on that.

Thanks an regards,

What version of Oracle? I believe 10g can be installed via command-line
telnet, earlier versions cannot.

The XTerm instructions you found look reasonably good. This assumes, of
course, that your client machine supports XWindows (which requires
additional software if the client machine is Windows).

I searched through the net for more details.A lot of people suggested
VNC and other softwares.
I also found an interesting one;thought i'd share it with you!

>>>Installing Oracle10g on a Remote Linux Server

If you don't install Oracle on your local system but on a remote
server, then you need to relink X to your local desktop. The easiest
way to do this is to use the "X11 forwarding" feature of ssh. This
means that you don't have to run xhost and set the DISPLAY environment
variable.

Here is an example how to use the "X11 forward" feature of SSH. Simply
run the following command from your local desktop:

$ ssh -X oracle@oracle_remote_server_name

Now when you run any GUI tools on the remote server, it should
automatically be relinked to your local desktop. If this is not
working, verify that forward X11 is not set to "no" in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config on the remote server:

su - root
grep ForwardX11 /etc/ssh/ssh_config
# ForwardX11 no
ForwardX11Trusted yes
