Hi,

if you mean, that you want to use X11 (i.e. aixterm, SMIT, Oracle-Installer, etc.) without installing the CDE stuff:

On AIX install "X11.base.rte" an its requisites. Then you should be able to use it by "exporting DISPLAY" to a PC on which an X-Server is running and then starting the X11-applikation.

Check for installed packages
#lslpp -L |grep X11.base

Check for enabled inittab entry.
#cat /etc/inittab |grep "rc.dt"

Check for running process
#ps -ef|grep X11

If you don't find any processes running, you can start using #/etc/rc.dt &


Hope it helps.
