I think he's looking for what command he needs to run to initiate this. Typically, to start X you just type in "startx." But if you're trying to start x from another box, would it be "startx 10.0.x.x" or "start <pcname>" or the like. Of course both machines have to have X running to do this. I've been wondering how this is done myself, but have seriously been lacking in time to do any research on how to do it. At work I run either a telnet session to the Unix servers I work on through my linux box, or if I have to run an X-windows session I go to my Win2k laptop and run Exceed sessions. If I can eliminate the use of the Exceed session, that's one more step I can eliminate for having to use windows. Joseph Key wrote: > > What are you trying to do?
