Steve,

Just one quick question....

I downloaded VNC.  I am new to Linux, so maybe you can point me in the right 
direction.  I can see that the scripts I downloaded are in Perl, but when I 
go to the HOME browser (mandrake) They are unknown file types.  

I would expect these scripts to execute just as the bash scripts execute.  
but when I try to execute them, there is no file association, so Mandrake 
asks what program I want to run them in.  I checked the installation CD and 
there are several PERL RPM's that I could install.  I tried the first one, 
but components of it were already installed.  I figured that if I install the 
correct RPM from the core cd, it would work, but this could be a gross 
conceptual error.  

I am going to try it over the LAN for starters, because I know that both 
machines on the LAN can communicate with each other, both the server and the 
client.  

I could be wrong, but I think it is just an association problem, but I dont 
know what program or terminal to associate the vnc files with.  I have been 
working with this all morning, and am starting to realize that I am just 
smart enough now to realize how dumb I am Hah....  Thanks,

Ricky
