Re: [newbie] start up script for mandrake
I don't have an /rc.d directory. I guess I will try to install the rpm
if I can. Will this have an adverse affect to the fact that I
installed this from scratch? Can I just delete the usr/local/vnc
directory and then re install the rpm?

Re: [newbie] start up script for mandrake
I can't seem to find any rpms so I am stuck with what I have which I know are the latest version. I looked at the rpms that I have on my cd but I didn't see a vnc server on it. Which is why I believe that I downloaded thee source before. I didn't see an rc.d file in my init.d directory in etc so I am wondering is there another place that I can install the startup script that you guys wrote? Is there a way to simply write a script that points to the executable? I want to have a good idea of what I am debugging if something is wrong lol. Thanks for the help.
