Re: Remote execution on Win machine

Hi How about rdesktop/grdesktop? Well, i don't know if i can run remotely a .bat script on a Win machine with rdesktop, but i know that i don't want to remote connect to this machine (like a terminal client). Also, the linux box is without X. Anyway, you mean the "-s" rdesktop option?

Hello, I need to build the kernel-image and headers .deb packages for a embedded system equipped with Debian etch. As the embedded processor is not much powerful (P III) and is too busy with several other tasks, I have to compile the kernel source (vanilla 2.6.20 patched with RTAI) on a PC runni
