So, you want to set up a connection from your desktop (the screen server) to your BLFS system (the screen client)? Did you allow X11 forwarding on your client? Check with grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config ~/.ssh/*grep Then connect with ssh -Y <your login>@<your client> and start an app. (this is the way I do with my iMac as server) pvg -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
