Ok, well, silent-ish =)
Going through the OAM install process can be tedious, and if you’re forced to run X over a shitty VPN, you’ll want to stab your eyes out waiting to type in a hostname or something. So try to do as much silently as possible. And guess what, I’m here to help! Here’s my notes from a silent install. The only part that you have to use a GUI for is the PSA and when you run config.sh. If anyone knows how to run either of those 2 silently, please let me know in the comments!
<start 1337 code>
sudo /opt/installers/iamsuite/Disk1/stage/Response/createCentralInventory.sh /opt/apps/inv oracle
/opt/installers/iamsuite/Disk1/runInstaller -silent -responseFile /opt/installers/responseFiles/oam-install.rsp -jreLoc /opt/apps/oracle/java/jdk1.7.0_79
(wait and tail the log file before continuing)
</end 1337 code>
Put this into the oam-install.rsp file:

No more popup X gui that lags like CoD over a 2400bps modem just to copy some binaries =)
