How CPU/RAM heavy are these 3 only? Is it absolutely necessary t run them on the 486? >* On the laptop do `export DISPLAY=192.168.1.2:0' in bash. Ah, that makes more sense. >* Run `startx', then `xhost +192.168.1.1' on the 486. Presumably I could put the xhost line in the startx script? Whereabouts should it go? I am still confused as to how I would specify which window manager I want to use and which computer it goes on? >* Run your xclients from the laptop command line. > > I am also interested in how to run console aplications in this > way too. > >You can just telnet from one machine to the other or run an xterm. Doh! Of course :) Is there anyway to run them locally without cp'ing them to the local HD? And speaking of which, is there a way to cp across a LAN or would I have to FTP them or use Samba or something? And one more quick question: Do I need to tell each computer the IP address of the other one? Thanks Ian -- Ian Lynagh - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.sn.no/~balchen/igloo/ Welcome to Hell.
