Thanks CBee, I have it running now. I appreciate your suggestions!
>On some unix machines you can have success with `vncserver -query >localhost`. This starts vncserver with a fresh login screen. I did this and got it working minutes later, though I don't know if the two things are related. I accidently clicked and held my left mouse on the gray screen and up popped a menu! Is that normal in Linux? I stumbled into it completely on accident. It allows me to start any of the items from teh KDE start menu. I am wading through the archives for more info specific to KDE. I appreciate you giving me a time frame - "since February" - as the 97 MB full archive is a little unwieldy. >If you have the guts, you can try to setup like >http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp >however it is somehow for experienced unix/linux users (actually real sysadmins). I ain't skeered. :) I had actually already tried that. I am a Linux newbie but have done a fair amount of scripting in JavaScript, ASP, etc and used to be pretty proficient with DOS bat files. So I'm not afraid to jump in and try, especially since I have a fresh install with no meaningful data yet! Here is the problem I encountered though. I don't have an inetd.conf file anywhere on my machine, nor could I find inet anything as an installation option. I did find and install xinetd though. So, how does one go about getting inetd? I read something about Mandrake using tcpserver as an inetd replacement. Anyone know anything about that? Is there a way to get the sourcecodecorner article to work with tcpserver?
