"Basically, an | unpatched linuxppc-2.4-devel. I have heard that a non-devel will boot, | including network, ide, etc." This means that at the very least you will need to find a power-pc port of the vncviewer (assuming one exists). Even then you may not have any luck since it does not look like the Dreambox is anything close to a 'standard' piece of hardware. There is nothing wrong with 'Linux on the Dreambox' as such, but you are making a big mistake if you think that it is the same 'Linux OS' that runs on a x86 PC, or even a standard powerpc based Mac. It may be (essentially) the same Linux *kernel*, but that is really not the full OS. (Thus the whole Linux vs GNU/Linux debate.) Anyway, good luck. :-) Rasjid. -- Rasjid Wilcox Canberra, Australia (UTC +11 hrs) http://www.openminddev.net _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
