SUMMARY manually starting X and CDE for Oracle install

Thanks to all who responded. Lots of folks explained
that I could do this over using an X server on a PC.
Of course I already knew this. I have done this in the
past and found things a little bloated to running
through an SSH tunnel. What I was aiming for was to go
to the console of this machine and which is currently
command line only and manually start up an X
environment without rebooting. Rebooting wasn't an
option since this is a production machine(/etc/system
changed for Oracle were done some time ago.) The
answer was from the command line to simply issue:

 $ /usr/openwin/bin/xinit /usr/dt/bin/Xsession

Thanks again everyone.
