Subject: re: assistance required. can't open display message.

Hello:
I am getting the following error message ocasionally when I am trying to
install package in particular the realplayer package.
error: can't open display.
I am prity sure that I compiled the VGA mode into the kernel which happens
to be 2.4.5 under slackware 8.0.
I am not sure if this is a X-windows problem and if so how can I avoid it.
I seem to recall that this was the same error message that came up when I
attempted to install and setup X-windows itself.  Is there any good
documentation for blind users that will allow us to set up X-Windows?

I would appreciate any assistance.
thanks and regards

Mark Muscat
