Thanx for all you help an patience, c123 and garyng, but I'm still clueless!
I tried everthing you two said to do. For some reason I only get localhost:7 to connect (I created 6 other vncservers before succeeding) but after connecting I don't get a KNOPPIX desktop. Isn't that what I'm supposed to get so I can manipulte KDE apps remotely in WIMPdoze?
BTW, I know localhost:7 works as I can use it from another PC on the LAN when both PCs are running KNOPPIX. In fact, the password it asks for is the userid passwd! I found a hidden dir called .vnc with a file in it called passwd. When I tried to open it in KATE, it had one word in weird characters I could not decifer.
TIA,
AJG

the vnc password is encrypted so you need the tool (vncpasswd) to change it.
what window manager/desktop manager is launched depends on your system setup(.xsession etc. in the home directory) I have installed fluxbox and have no problem having it launched. what desktop you get when you do a 'startx' locally on that linux machine ? From the vnc perspective, it is no different than starting a local X server, just the display protocol is different (one to video card for XFree86, one to memory buffer and then remote for vnc). One thing I don't like to use KNOPPIX as a HD installation is that it has its own way of arranging things meaning learning yet another set of convention on top of the debian convention which by itself is already different from the convention used in the raw package like XFree86.
why it needs to go till :7 is beyond me. But as far as I know, they use /tmp/.X11/ to find out empty slot for the display. So it may be that it sees some left over there.
