oracle 10g linux 32 client,Oracle 10g Client on SuSE Linux 10.1

Ok, I'm back to the fun task of installing Oracle Client on Linux according to the provided instructions, which seem to imply:

For user oracle, open .profile in vi and enter the following in INSERT mode:

export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/app/oracle

export DISPLAY=:0.0

Switch to COMMAND mode and hit :wq!

Then go to terminal and enter 'env | more' to see if environment is set correctly. When I do that, only the DISPLAY variable appears in the listing (but, maybe I somehow set that by accident during my many attempts). However, when I start the installer, it states.....

All installer requirements met.

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 80 MB. Actual 1571 MB Passed

Checking swap space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 2047MB Passed

Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors Failed <<<<

>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.

Some optional pre-requisite checks have failed (see above). Continue? (y/n) [n]

So, what did I do wrong? Did I use vi incorrectly?
