Ok, this is drifting a bit OT, but I'm going to strike while the iron is hot. I've got my backend machine set up and pretty much working, but it is going in the closet so I don't have to listen to it. I need to get VNC working. In the past when I was running FC1, I just did apt-get for TightVNC and I was all set. Starting a VNC server and connecting yielded me my complete KDE/Gnome/WhateverWM desktop.

Now that I'm running FC3, TightVNC doesn't seem to be available, and when I connect using the already installed vncserver, all I get is a minimalist TWM environment.

How to get a full-on desktop? I'm suspecting I need to edit one or more of the X config files, but I'm clueless. If there's a FAQ for this one, please point me to it.

Thanks!

You may already know this, but if you need to run _anything_ remotely on
linux including x11 aps, well vnc does the job. A simple vnc xserver
and vnc client and you can do whatever.


Your approach sounds simpler though which is always good.

I have a vncserver setup to auto load realplayer and then to play a
audio stream I like. There are audio cables connected various places
and a simple "vncserver" command from console is enough to get it going.


Of course if anyone knows a way to play .rm internet streams directly
from the console I'd definitely be curious.

I have been wondering about how i could run setup without being at the
actual backend for a while, and i just started writing a curses based
port of the setup program.  I cant promise anything but once i get it
to do more then a little menu ill post it on the web and hopefully
someone can give me some ideas to improve it.

I have no sympathy for people who run RPM-based systems and then whine
about dependencies. ;)

Me neither. Nobody was complaining about dependencies though. :-)
