IBM DB2 9.7 Express-C instalation on remote machine

Question

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install IBM DB2 9.7 Express-C on a remote machine that does not have xorg installed.
I've managed to enable forwarding X over ssh (tested on xeyes), but when i start db2setup, it doesn't do anything.
Output in console is this:
user@remotemachine$ ./db2setup
DBI1190I db2setup is preparing the DB2 Setup wizard which will guide
you through the program setup process. Please wait.
DBI1160I Non-root install is being performed.
If i login with root then the output is basically same:
user@remotemachine$./db2setup
DBI1190I db2setup is preparing the DB2 Setup wizard which will guide
you through the program setup process. Please wait.
I'm running latest arch with xfce4 with slim for starting DE.
Can anybody give me some poiners on how to install this?
