I have installed linux on a fat32 partiton, and it has created a loopback file system. while booting linux it gives the error "kernal panic" and the system hangs. so any help would be appreciated. Regards, Prem.

I wish to have 2 linux server, such that if one were to crash, the second would take over immediately. Just like PDC / BDC. Does anybody have any info / exp on this. Kindly share please. sandeep

X should be running on the winbox that you're exporting your display to using export DISPLAY=winbox:0 Keep in mind, that the X server is the machine that has the monitor, keyboard, mouse and sound card. The X client is the host on which your program runs - Netscape in this case. Philip -- The bigger the theory the better.

I just ran Xwin32 on the winbox, and it came up with the gray screen and X cursor. Running xdm on gort got me a gui login on the winbox. This could be because I'm not using rsh and rexec but something called XDMCP. The intent, in case I am not clear, is to run programs on gort and display on the winbox. -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> The more I learn about the Internet, the more amazed I am that it works at all.

Sometime today, aditya newalkar wrote: Let the machine where you have netscape installed = S. Let the machine from where you telnet to S = C. S is a Linux box (in your case, at least). C could be running any OS, not necess. Linux. You need to run an X server on C (not on S). The X server should be willing to accept connections from other hosts. If C is running X11, you go "xhost +S" (so C will accept connections from S). You can use X-Win32 for running X on Windows (that way you can work on Windows (C) and telnet to Linux (S) occasionally for "serious" work (like using Netscape :) ) and also have your Linux GUI apps be "displayed on Windows" (technically, they're still running on the Linux machine)). X-Win32 is guiltware. (Sorry for multi-level parentheses. Am in hack mode.) Finally, you tell S where to display graphics. You need to set the DISPLAY env. var. on S (so telnet S) - "export DISPLAY=C:0". Then just run netscape from the command prompt. That's it. There's some confusion b/w who's the server and who's the client. Just remember, S runs the telnet service for C, and C runs the X service for S. You're sitting in front of C wanting to run netscape which is installed on S. Thus, you can sit in front of a Windows box (to impress your pointy-haired boss) and still avail of most services from Linux. I used to hide the Linux (actually, FreeBSD) box under the table when my boss was around. :) Manish J. -- Advice is a dangerous gift; be cautious about giving and receiving it.
