A better option would be to look at the dxt package on sunsite- it is a nfsroot linux boot floppy that you can set up to run an X server on- I've hacked it up a bit, so it will use an X font server & such- I may release it at some point in time. It is not the best solution, but it is out there. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
