- Er, I haven't checked (my Linux machine is at work and I'm not) but I
- believe the problem is that the X11 shared libraries aren't installed
- in /lib if you don't load X11 with sysinstall, so it doesn't even get
- to the point of starting up to parse the -nw option. Once you get the
- required X libraries installed, yes, -rw is what you need for non-X work,
- or just make sure DISPLAY isn't defined.

- Please do correct me if I'm wrong on this.
