Hummingbird is an implementation of XWindows.
It is sort of like saying xwindows = http
Firefox does http, IE does http etc....
However, when I was installing 7.5 with Linux -- I had a very stripped
down Linux. I had to install the Xwindows libraries for the installer
to run.
And - to install the Xwindows libraries - I had to install a whole
bunch of other stuff. (C compiler etc... which surprised me - cause I
was installing the compiled libs)
I did eventually get the install to run. And - it did look nice.
(It had been awhile since I had done much with Xwindows -- so it was
sort of like walking down memory lane)
For example - here are some things that may help:
export DISPLAY=192.168.1.55:0
twm
xterm -display=192.168.1.55:0
(I had forgotten about things like exporting my DISPLAY, and the fact
that I had to run a window manager)
PS
(no fault of the installer at all) -- but adding all the x-libs etc --
made my root partition outgrow its space - so I had to expand the root
etc.... (which was not fun) - so mental note -- if you run a "tight
ship" for our servers -- you may need to expand your disk space

Dear List,
The 7.5 installation manual says to use X Windows to install ARS on a
Unix or Linux server. We already have Hummingbird, which supposedly
works similarly to X Windows. Can we use it or do we need to buy X
Windows?
(We are presently at ARS 7.1 p3 on a RH Linux server.)
