in trying to download/install netscape 6.1 i get display complaints,
and must admit i'm stumbling about in the dark.  what is it i need
to set up?

polaris:root:~/tmp/netscape-installer [1044] netscape-installer
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
polaris:root:~/tmp/netscape-installer [1046] export DISPLAY=:0.0
polaris:root:~/tmp/netscape-installer [1047] netscape-installer
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
polaris:root:~/tmp/netscape-installer [1048] export DISPLAY=polaris:0.0
polaris:root:~/tmp/netscape-installer [1049] netscape-installer
Xlib: connection to "polaris:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: polaris:0.0

i feel like tossing my magic cookies.

btw, are they really serious when they say one needs a 233 MHz
processor to run netscape 6.1?  my laptop is 166 MHz.
