I don't know how the rox MIME association works so I am just speaking in general terms.

When you execute with wish, the Tk libraries are included implicitly as they are included by wish.

Some developers rely on executing the program from wish or use a 'trick' in which the script is started as bash which then executes wish. They have something like the following at the top of the script

2 Questions...

1.)Does this updated RemoteDesktopClient Gui come built in Puppy 3.01?
Where is the repository for the latest?

2.)Im actually trying to do the opposite.
I was wondering if it was possible to HOST Puppy?

I would like to access Puppy via Windows Remote desktop pref.
I know how to host a Windows box and give permissions, but not sure on the Linux puppy side..

I would like to use Puppy on a Notebook as a picture frame and access it via Remote desktop..

Thanks

remote desktop isn't going to do you any good

vnc would do the trick

you need to install the vncserver on the picture frame

search the forum for vncserver

if you are happy on the commandline you could just install the sshd server

Thank you so much...

Finally got it figured out and working..

For some stupid reason, the internal HD wouldn't boot, had to format with ex2 and install grub. Now, it prompts me to select the Grub menu to point to the hd1. Would like to make it go strait in without having to press enter.

#timeout 30
color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
# End GRUB global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title Puppy Linux (on /dev/hda1)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz pmedia=idehd
initrd /initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends

_______________________________
Also, would like to make the VNCserver startup 1 display session automaticly.

Is there a way to keep a live-cd from using the saved file on the HD?

I would like to resize the original partition, but when booting with a live-cd it takes hold of the save file and I can not un-mount the HD. Locked..

Hairy,

Thank you so much for your feedback...
I was playing with the tightVNC server and thought it was the coolest thing..

I will post and ask how to incorporate the service automatically.

so when the puppy system boots up, I will have access to it without intervention.

Stupid quick question.....

I have been using the TightVNC, and was wondering if there was a way to select the initial display.

Meaning, I want to make changes on the actual display. Can it display and let you VNC the actual current screen?

Also, trying to find a GOOD slide show app.
Will be making a picture frame
