let's state: - you have a mf linux installed : which one and how? - you have not installed the graphic thingys (rpms) on the mainframe - you are working with win98; via telnet? one type of working environmet for your config (if i state this right) is to use vnc (kindof a lean x-server on the host machine) the other type is to use, i know only of commercial ones, a x-server on win32 in both cases you need to install the packages in a - maybe remote accessed via nfs - filesystem on the host. the x-clients are running on the host, so they are needed be installed there; for example gnome --- but the cpu intensive process of _displaying_the_results_of_the_running_x-clients_ is performed on the win98 machine. hth bax > -----Original Message----- > From: Holger Baxmann > Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 9:39 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: time config > > > Am Mit, 2002-02-27 um 15.49 schrieb Hall, Jammie: > > I was noticing that my time is off by 6hrs.
