MIke,
The box I am trying to access remotely is running knoppix on it. It is the
Knoppix_AFU, what I want to do is have the VNC session come up as
fluxbox rather than kde. I am getting a lot of good pointers, and have
looked in all of the places that I suspect but so far not so good.
The server is realvnc, The client is the kde one that is installed with
SuSE 9.1. I am trying to ID it but so far not so much luck. I think it is a
part of the KDE stuff.
