Silent Installation
Firstly you need to get your software down from Oracle.com and into a suitable location on your server. That’s up to you. When I was doing this I was using Oracle’s Virtualbox and a presetup virtual server which didn’t have the vsftpd daemon. So I had to download the 2 zip files to my host PC, and create a shared location in virtualbox. Fro mthere I was able to copy the zip files into /u01/orainst/11.2.0.1 and there unzip them.
From there I was able to copy file database/response/db_install.rsp to a safe location (/u01/orainst/11.2.0.1) and edit it to include only the items I was interested in. I did however keep the other entries but commented them out as you can see here. This includes all of the startdb items since I was only installing the software.

I specified a totally new inventory location. Since I already had a full installation elsewhere on the server, I didn’t want to impact it at all with this installation.
Finally I ran the installation using the following commands.
cd database
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -force -silent -responseFile /u01/orainst/11.2.0.1/db_install.rsp
I did have some issues with the GROUP settings. Originally /I had them down as dba but this didn’t serve. I found that dba hadn’t been allocated to the oracle user, however even after having done the necessary edit to /etc/group file it still didn’t work. Perhaps I needed to log out. Anyway, I just set them to oracle group and it all worked swimmingly.
While its running it is worth starting another session and tailing the log file to see what’s happening. The log file name is given in the output fro mteh runinstaller command (below).
tail -f /home/oracle/app/oraInventory/logs/installActions2014-01-03_03-45-50AM.log
Output from the runInstaller command
[oracle@localhost database]$ ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -force -silent -responseFile /u01/orainst/11.2.0.1/db_install.rsp

The following configuration scripts need to be executed as the "root" user.
#!/bin/sh
#Root scripts to run
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/root.sh
To execute the configuration scripts:
1. Open a terminal window
2. Log in as "root"
3. Run the scripts
4. Return to this window and hit "Enter" key to continue
Successfully Setup Software.
Just follow the instructions at the end and everything is fine.
Removing the installation
Deleting it is really straight forward. Just cd to the new oracle home, then cd into deinstall and run deinstall. This gets rid of everything including the inventory items.
