Oracle client install on AIX 5.3

I have been tasked with creating a scripted install of the Oracle client (9.2.0.1.0). However from what I have discovered this is an X / Java install application and cannot be run without the DISPLAY being set and exported. Does anyone know of a way of installing the client from a character based install method?

Your help will be appreciated as always!

There are newer ways of doing this, but I like the mklpp package:

Howto create an AIX LPP / BFF package

This will create .bff installation files that you can use with installp and smitty.
