Me too [/aol]

Now I get the expected `uname -m` result for root as well as for me, but I 
can't run any X programs because the DISPLAY variable isn't set, thus:

prh@gentoo32 ~ $ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm:  DISPLAY is not set

xhost doesn't help me either:

prh@wstn ~ $ xhost local:localhost
non-network local connections being added to access control list
prh@wstn ~ $ l32 bash
prh@gentoo32 ~ $ sh /usr/local/src/install-crossover-standard-5.0.0.sh
Verifying archive integrity...OK

The DISPLAY variable is not set.  You cannot install this program from a
console.  Run startx or xinit to start an X server first before running setup.

This is what I get when I try to run a program from an xterm:

prh@wstn ~ $ xhost local:localhost
non-network local connections being added to access control list
prh@wstn ~ $ l32 bash
prh@gentoo32 ~ $ sh /usr/local/src/install-crossover-standard-5.0.0.sh 
Verifying archive integrity...OK

The DISPLAY variable is not set.  You cannot install this program from a
console.  Run startx or xinit to start an X server first before running setup.

Or if I try putting all the commands on a single line (sorry about the 
wrapping):

prh@wstn ~ $ xhost local:localhost && l32 
/usr/local/src/install-crossover-standard-5.0.0.sh
non-network local connections being added to access control list
/bin/bash: /usr/local/src/install-crossover-standard-5.0.0.sh: Permission denied

Clearly, I still have much to learn.
