'urpmi perl' Also, you have a choice to run vncserver as a service, or as a user. Run it as a service, so it automatically starts on reboot and is always available, by editing /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and then doing 'service vnc start' The other option is to just run it as user and this is nice if you don't want it running all the time by just typing vncserver as a user. It will use the default desktop or the desktop specified in ~/.desktop, which is what I do because I run flux in my vnc sessions, but KDE as a local user. -- /g ----------------------------------------------------- Ok, im assuming ive got perl installed as im semi-working. I can now start the vncserver service, and its running successfully. But wheni go to connect using tightvnc for windows I just get a grey box with the big black "X" as my mouse pointer......... Argh I feel im almost there!!! Woujldnt mind but ill probably only use it 4/5 times in my life!
