-- i installed an ubuntu 8.04 server edition and installed fluxbox from the
command line. the fluxbox functions perfectly well. i have issues with
displays other applications like mozilla which i have already installed and
when i try to open it frmo command line it says
Error: no display specified

this is where i face problem , any guidelines ?
