- Hi, there,
- I have X running, but still have some questions.
- 1). I couldn't run any x-program (xrn, etc) on our university's mainframe
- unix machine, which has all those wonderful x-program. There supposed to be
- a xhost or something, or setenv DISPLAY xxx.xxx.ca:0, which I cann't figure
- out. University Computing Centre cann't help much, they were suprised to
- know I am running X on a PC under L-I-N-U-X. Is it possible to dial-in and
- run x-program from my linux-X machine?
- 2). In which subdirectory should I unpack those X-program sources to
- compile?
- Thanks.
