Thanks Martin, I did see that and even tried it on my RH box but didn't think to try it on the Knoppix 'Xterminal'. Works really well, exceptionally fast in comparison with Xmanager.

Nice switching between the local/remote systems with a <ctrl><alt>F5 or <ctrl><alt>F6.

I would still like to get the xterms running in the standard knoppix desktop.

Developing an X application on a remote system which does not have an X desktop running is best done through multiple xterm screens. One or two or editing, one for compile, another for standard output and another for the X application display.

This may be a particular requirement of mine but all software development in my organisation is done this way. I would much rather run Knoppixx than Exceed and Windows, but so fr I cannot get that happening.

Thanks again,
Doug
