Yes, it should be possible. I would strongly recommend doing _something_ over NFS to your Alpha (like, /usr) so that you can have quite a bit of swap space set aside for the X server - it likes to take a lot of memory. > If so, what packages do I need to tell apt-get to install? Install the base system _only_, then 'apt-get install' only enough to get a X server installed and running. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
