Hello Marcelo,thanks for your kind answer. Well, I don't really want any session manager of this sort. As for the use case: We're running a server where users should be able to access a remote session (per user). I tested this using my own living room htpc and a client, both running archlinux - where the freenx installation is much smaller. You can see what it installs below (not including xorg-server which would add another 35mb totalling at 59mb). I don't want to launch any gnome|kde|xfce session, but simply from the respective .xinitrc which the user can modify. I was able to do this on my own archlinux setup without problems, I don't know if this is an issue. I actually thought this should be much simpler then any sort of session management. .xinitrc is all I need. For example I launched twm and a terminal just to test it, or i could launch any other stuff from the .xinitrc, feh, panels... I'm not sure if freenx-rdp is what I need...
Thanks again.
Regards,
Carl

Hi, I you want a minimal installation then install just freenx-rdp or freenx-vnc this will install only rdesktop or x11vnc instead of a hole desktop manager. As the most common use cases are gnome desktop or kde desktop then freenx-server pushes gnome-session | kdebase-workspace-bin | xfce4-session too. freenx is not needed (it meant to support extra features like print/file sharing and vnc) The supported desktops are gnome, kde and xfce4, others session managers are not supported by now. If you want further assistance then send us your use case. Hope this helps, Marcelo On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 1:58 PM, GT6<g...@gmx.net> wrote:Dear guys and girls, can someone please explain to me, why on earth the freenx package wants to pull in half the known universe as dependencies? See the output of 'aptitude install freenx' below. This has to be a joke - some sort of mistake, right? You want me to install *gnome* to install freenx?? ._. Now; it would be outstandingly brilliant if you could point me to a simple way of just installing freenx, and only the deps that it actually needs to run. I doubt that 'dictionaries-common' or 'libgweather1' (can you believe it...) hold any relevance when it comes to running freenx. Thanks a lot.
