- Hi there,
- I'be been playing around with linux a month now, and am getting
- into the networking side of it. I've got telnet and ftp running from
- and to a SUN Sparcstation network (to some extent!) but can't seem to work
- out how to get the programs running on the sparc to be displayed on my
- linux station. I've got linux 98p5 at present, i'll be upgrading
- sometime soon.
-
- My linus station is called 'spc1' to the rest of the sparc network.
-
- What I can't work out is how to get the X windows running, so that
- when I start a program on the sparc e.g. '<progname> -display spc1' it does
- not seem to work. What I can't work out is how to start my X windows up
- so that it is known as 'spc1'.
-
- If anyone out there has had any success then please mail me.
- (I'm waiting for the comp.windows.x FAQ to arrive in the news group)
-
- Thanks.
