That's something for the os to find out, nothing for vnc... > > So far, I get everything installed and running, but when I > remove the video > card Win2k will not boot anymore.

As far as I know, all Micro$oft windowing operating systems do some hardware check during their boot. They need at least one videocard so if they don't find one, they start crying... Best tip: add a video card to the machine. does not matter how small. One capable of the vnc geometry will do. Alternate tip: (a whild guess): Configure the videocard as vga or svga and see what you get. Another tip, even worce: edit c:\boot.ini to force the vga mode there. This gives a 'savemode' style display, should be no problem for servers.
