[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

i'm new at this X stuff, so whip out the clue stick: i tried
`./runInstaller` on the oracle8i install cd, and i get

	XLIB: connection to ":0.0" refused by server

i've tried

	export DISPLAY=:0.1
	export DISPLAY=:1.0
	export DISPLAY=:1.1
	export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
	export DISPLAY=192.168.1.2:0.0

and get bounced every time.

nmap shows X11 is listening on port 6000, so what else do i need?

i'm using potato...
