Start the installation from an xterm, or run "xhost +localhost" to connect to your X-server

thx a lot for ur advice , my installation started but its stopped at installing java runtimeenvironment for an hour i observed , what might be the reason , & plz give me a solution for this

When the guide says "export DISPLAY=yourdesktop:0.0" you must replace yourdesktop with your host's IP address (if you are trying to install remotelly). If you are installing locally then use an xterm to install without caring about DISPLAY, or use "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0".
In both cases if you use "export DISPLAY=..." you must run "xhost +localhost" at the local box to allow connections to the local X-server.

thanks a lot for the help , i have completed the oracle 9i installation on linux , after installation what i have to do administer the database , what might the dba login , in windows platform it will ask for the user i will provide system/manager at the installation time , plz help me in this issue
