mini-wm failure on test install - dns problem

[G.Wolfe Woodbury]

Today's install attempt doesn't get very far at all!

The X server starts, but the mini-wm fails attempting to resolve
localhost:6001 socket.  There is no /etc/hosts file containing even
this basic definition.

The exact error:

_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:6001: Temporary failure in name resolution

(mini-wm:434): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :1


The error appears using both static and DHCP configurations.  In static configuration,
the selected nameserver is *known* to be working correctly, so the error is not in the available
DNS servers.

The system just hangs forever (>20 minutes) with Xorg and mini-wm in Zombie status. Vt02 shell
works okay. In fact it will ping localhost without problems, Xorg and mini-wm are MIA.
