I've set mine up to run the whole KDE desktop within exceed. I have a short script that sets my display variable to my eXceed server and then does a startkde command. export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0 startkde & I'm running telnet to do the startup (internal LAN) because I had trouble with the rsh and rexec methods. Running rpmdrake from a su'ed command line does indeed work. That a workable solution, since I don't need to do it very often. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Kerwick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 11:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Using Software Manager remotely sorry i'm afraid i can't help you with your problem, but i would like to know how you got exceed to work. I've tried a number of times, but the best i got was an x teminal window, no full desktop, what settings in exceed did you use, any changes to Xfree86 config files ? Actually, just had a thought, have you tried using the software manager in webmin ?? or how about running the software manager from a command line which you are su'ed in ?? cheers Jamie >From: "Andrew M.
