    I got it and set it up in c:\baslin as per instructions.

    It boots up to the CLI without a hitch.

    Unfortunately, startx does not go so well.   :(

I get the following:

    X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
    <about 15 or 20 times, then:>
    swm: Cannot open display, giving up
    MENU: cannot open display

and return to the CLI.

   I run MSDOS 6.20, on an AMD K6 400 MHz with 64 MB RAM and a Diamond 
Stealth (S3) 2 MB video card.
   The monitor is a nearly new AOC flat screen 17". 
   My drive C: is a 1.2 GB Quantum Fireball running under a disk manager for 
DOS.

FWIW: I could never get xvesa to boot, from any drive, with or without 
autoexec.bat and config.sys.

   Any ideas ?     Am I supposed to set up a network first ?  

Regards,
         Ron
