Actually, you get a big round of applause. ssh -X root@localhost is a fine way to go. When you started to say clueless I was preparing myself for another "why nobody should ever use xhost, ever" rant coming on, but you've done things the^H^H^H^H a good way =) > Anyway, like I have already implied, I'm no expert here--but I > thought this was more along the Debian lines. I haven't taken a look at the referenced document yet, so I can't say how it compares, but your procedure looks good, at least by my cursory glance. (Although, I generally use menuconfig, which makes the whole X discussion moot. That's just a matter of personal preference, though.) good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.digitalconsumer.org/
