(800x600 is plenty suitable for my needs here) I do not > want to have to ssh in to the system first to start the server ..you could do this the same way X is started, check in /etc/init.d/ . ..but, I don't understand why you prefer vnc over X? Or Xnest? If security is an issue like on internet, wrap it in a ssh pipe, works for vnc too, and X sessions usually use port 6000-n-up, and I believe this is useable even from M$IE, or is there a full M$ boycott on X? ..note that X is deaf in Debian, Knoppix etc, this is set with the "nolisten" option, you _may_ wanna comment out those, if you do, watch out on your firewalling. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
