Interesting that must have changed with 9.0? There used to be some notes on VNC in the release notes, and additional documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/vnc not there anymore, and tighvnc only has the readme, not the expected readme.SuSE Okay, a short run down on what the nice guys at SuSE have done for you: They've setup tightvnc as a "Terminal Server". Ie see the file /etc/xinet.d/vnc... (I usually add entries there for higher resolutions)... Oh, BTW, the entry for 1280x1024 is incorrrect! Jerry On Thu, 2004-03-04 at 10:40, Phil Mocek wrote:
I'm a long-time Debian user but SuSE is new to me, and I'm having a really difficult time finding SuSE documentation. I'm used to a system where most packages have fairly extensive documentation under /usr/share/doc, and for which very specific policies regarding ``how to do stuff'' with the distribution are available at one site on the Web.
Several times over the course of my installation of SuSE 9.0, I've gone to the places I'd expect to find documentation and turned up little to nothing or outdated information. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places?
Case in point: When installing SuSE on this box I'm building, I was able to specify that YaST should allow remote administration over VNC. However, I can't find any information about this.
SuSE's knowledge base turns up *nothing* relevant: a keyword search for ``vnc'',
http://portal.suse.com/PM/page/search.pm?q=vnc&t=keyword&sdb=true&m=25&l=en&x=true
returns an article on remote *installation* with vnc for SuSE 8.1.
A full-text search,
http://portal.suse.com/PM/page/search.pm?q=vnc&t=all&sdb=true&m=25&l=en&x=true
returns three additional articles, none of which are relevant.
The only files under /usr/share/doc on my system (which does have suselinux-adminguide_en installed) that contain the string `vnc' or `VNC' are:
/usr/share/doc/packages/lilo/user.pdf /usr/share/doc/packages/ncurses/terminfo.src /usr/share/doc/packages/tightvnc/README
None of these is relevant.
Am I missing something?
