Hi,
Yes, I am in runlevel 5. I have to admit, I did check /etc/inittab, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for ... :-(. A bit lost here as to what you're saying, sorry! Can you clarify a bit? Yes, VNC works - I was trying to say that, just not very clearly. What I'm after though is to have a separate window open when I launch qemu, which is the "target" OS ... make sense? Thanks for you help!
