Not exactly your typical "remote machine", but the principle is the same. I have a dedicated HTPC machine next to my 50" plasma, connected by 50 feet of ethernet cable to my computer den. I use the TV as a monitor when running NHL GameCenter Live.
I have Lilo set up to "dual boot" between a "production" and an "experimental" kernel. The first (i.e. default) boot option is the "production" kernel. When I set up a new kernel, I try to always run it as experimental. Even if the kernel panics, I don't<G>. I boot back into the production kernel, and try again. Once the experimental kernel has run for a couple of weeks without problems, I copy it over the production kernel. One problem... if I build a new kernel, is there a way to get the "remote machine" to boot to the non-default experimental kernel just once? Any future boots to default to production (unless its a restart from hibernate). -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
