hi i have 3 maschines 2 of them are sles7 and 1 is rhas2.1 rhas has X (KDE). sles7s have no x because i cant find suitable driver for vga. i have wonder that -can i user sles7s kde in rhas? -can i export sles7s x into rhas at the same time ? i want to setup 2 display to rhas -if i want to setup rhas and sles7 in the same disk how can i show them to each other in the lilo ? which stesp do i follow best regards
If I understand your question correctly, you CAN use one machine to see other machines X-display. There are several methods: 1. xdm -- set up the non-display machine to be an xdm server, and use remote X on the machine with X. You will essentially be a "dumb terminal" (but with pretty display) of the remote machine. 2. xhost -- essentially you log into the remote machine (using telnet or ssh) and run graphical programs that will be displayed on the local machine. 3. nfs -- not really running programs remotely, but you can use the remote computer's hard disk as a local one. 4. vnc -- an even easier remote display. The remote display can be all in one local window. The details of setup are rather a nuisance, but there are many resources on the net. Perhaps others can refine my list.

Would this nfs be the program used over a network to access devices as
well such as CDRW, Iomega drives or printers assuming you use the cable
directly between two NIC cards?

In reverse order: Printers are a little different. CUPS (part of SuSE's installation) should allow you to share printers. CDs and the rest are all devices, and shareable with NFS, though switching CDs can sometimes confuse matters. You can cable the two machines directly, with a crossover cable, but it's not the best method, in my opinion. Hubs abd switches are now very cheap. Plug all your devices into a hub/switch and use DHCP to configure them to a non-routed address space. You can then network between them, and you can easily expand the network, adding other computers as well as networked devices, like some printers, MP3 players, wireless routers, etc. On Mon, 2003-07-28 at 12:44, Carl William Spitzer IV wrote:

Shame. KDE would be hard to use on a 640x480 vga screen I think.
i have wonder that
-can i user sles7s kde in rhas?
One idea - start an X in RH from the command line but instead of selecting a windowmanager in the startx command line, call xterm (or ssh-agent xterm) In the xterm, ssh to your SuSE box and run kde &. You should see a SuSE desktop. Cut down the eye-candy though - in particular I hate "Display content in moving windows" over the network - even a crossover cable - or if I am using RAM for useful work :-) (Control Center/Desktop/Window Behavior) I just tried this to run a SuSE 8.2 KDE 3 desktop on my Windows machine - sweet. You may need to install the X libraries to get some X apps to work - experiment and see.
-can i export sles7s x into rhas at the same time ? i want to setup 2 display to rhas
Yes - if one is on display :0 and the other is on :1 then ALT-F7 and ALT-F8 will switch between them (unless RHAS as some strange non-standard X installation, in which case there will be an equivalent)
-if i want to setup rhas and sles7 in the same disk how can i show them to each other in the lilo ? which stesp do i follow
man lilo.conf specify /boot and /root for each install in the menu entries (otherwise you could boot a RH install with a SuSE kernel - not a bad thing but not what you wanted. Or better - (for example) put the SuSE lilo in the MBR then put the other system's lilo in its partition's boot record (for example /dev/hda2) Then in the SuSE /etc/lilo.conf add other = /dev/hda2 label = ScarletHeadgear Have fun - there are a million ways to do this as long as you have a working boot disk and rescue disk before you start playing.
