Straight from Bash itself, you are starting a new Xserver and linking it to the actual server in one step. You can probably do this with a windows batch file in one step but I have no need. If you get a grey box coming up then you have to enable xdcmp (I think) in the sign on daemon you use (eg gdm). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
