I was too lazy to make a .deb for my customized mutt install, and I've wanted to install it on 2 other systems since. And my dependencies are weird and I have to --force sometimes when I know I have something. And if someone knows the name of that program that makes separate trees for your tarballs and soft links 'em into your main tree, that could be the most useful thing for the original poster. But alas, I've forgotten, my mind weakened by the simplicity of Debian. -Chuck

Many (most?) make files provide for removing the installation. For some installations, it gets more complicated, because you may have other installations that depend on this one. If that is the case, then you will make those utilities useless. The right (and sometimes painful) answer is to use rpm's for your installs. I've recently been teaching myself to make my own rpm's. It's not real easy, because the documentation is lacking, but you should be able to do most basic things ok. And, the rpm's figure out your dependencies on the fly, and will make later installation of that utility in other places a real snap. Bill

KDE Desktop Sharing is a RFB (VNC) server that uses your existing X session: http://www.tjansen.de/krfb/ On Sat, Sep 28, 2002 at 08:07:45PM -0400, brad wrote: maitre> I was wondering if there is a way to create a window that would be a tunnel maitre> into another X server.

X tricks

by brad

Hi All, I was wondering if there is a way to create a window that would be a tunnel into another X server. For example if i'm running a server on :0 and on :1, i would like to have a window, which is connected to :0, that would show what is being displayed on :1. This is similar to how vmware works. When you start vmware in window on :0 it will actually start another X server on :1 and display (in a window) the contents on :1. Is this possible (other then with vmware)? Thanks, --brad
