Configuring remote Xterminal
Hey all, I got a hold of a remote X-terminal. This thing has keyboard/mouse/monitor connectors and a ethernet port. It was using an SGI system but I want to configure it for use with my Suse box. Can anyone point me in the right direction or to some docs or soemthing. I have never configured such a beast. Thanks, CC

I've done this with a diskless Sun 3/80. Basically, I placed a NetBSD
installation under /tftpboot and set up /etc/exports so that the box could
mount it. I also ran a RARP daemon so that the box could get an IP.
Then I had to set up xdm to accept connections from that box (kdm uses the
xdm settings). When the machine booted up, it would RARP an IP from my SuSE
box, get a boot image over tftp, mount NetBSD over NFS, then run X -query
