Not true. Install Cygwin/X on your local machine (http://x.cygwin.com/), configure PuTTY to forward X11 packets, login to the server and run firefox. Depending on your exact configuration, you may need to tinker with the settings a bit. Usually, however, it works with no additional effort. - Max _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
