[newbie] Getting VNCSERVER to start at boot?

2004-04-02 Thread James S. Hardin
Been a while since I've used linux, just to find out that init.d was
replaced with xinit.d

I need to remotely access the desktop on my MDK10 server. I've installed the
tightvnc package, and it shows up in the rc.d directories, but until I run
the command line vncserver command, I cannot connect to the service
remotely.

Also, is there a guide that shows how to use the package manager? I keep
getting all sort of errors when I try to update.

You have to specify which user you want vncserver to start for in 
the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file or the server won't start.
