*********************************************************************
*
*  The X-server can not be started on display lahpice:0 ...
*
*********************************************************************

It is trying to connect to a Xserver with the name lahpice

Is this the host name of your LA ?

If not, I don't know where you change it (My 16702A is still waiting
for me to get back to fixing the settings for the internal display)

It may be a good idea to just reload everything from the CD.

For a SCSI CDROM, look for Apple Mac and SUN externals.
