Err.... mentioning which ones might help a little.

I guess I have to keep on trying - but as you said - no big > hope.... It is somewhat unclear what you are trying to achieve here. If you have an Windows XP machine near by, why are you trying to run the VNC Viewer on the DreamBox? Are you trying to display your XP desktop on the Dreambox, or are you trying to run Linux programs on the DreamBox and display their output on the XP Machine. Or are you trying to something else altogether? Perhaps you really want to be running the VNC Server on the DreamBox, and the VNC Client on the XP machine? This at least I think has some chance of working, since the VNC Server is a console application. Regardless, you will still have to find a version of VNC that has been compiled for the PowerPC chipset. I think your best bet would be the port from Debian for PowerPC. To help out a bit, can you run other commands on the DreamBox? In particular: * What is the output of the 'uname -a' command? * Does it have a /proc directory? If so, what is the output of: cat /proc/cpuinfo cat /proc/version If you have no idea how to get the PowerPC files from Debian, let me know and I may be able to help. But please provide the info requested above first, and explain a bit more about what you are trying to do.
