It is a little more } involved than I really want to get into. I have just }installed } 4.2 on an old 486 and would like to use it to access }an X server } running on a debian machine I have. } } 1. Is there anyway I can just telnet or ssh into the }debian box } and run X applications on the freebsd box, using the debian } box's server? } You bet. http://www.defcon1.org/x11ssh.html } 2. Can I do this without running an X server on the }freebsd box? No. You'll need a GUI desktop on your local machine before trying to run x11 apps from a remote machine on there. Makes enough sense to me anyway. Good luck. -Otter } } This is my first attempt at freebsd. I've searched the list } archive but didn't come up with an answer.
