Perhaps I am misinterpreting Mark's query. PuTTY will get you a command line session to your remote box, but you need an X environment of some kind on your local Windows box to *see* any X GUI app such as GNOME or KDE locally. That is where cygwin or VNC come in. Or am I totally misunderstanding here? jb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
