VNC?

[c123]

Oh! vncserver and vncviewer are already in KNOPPIX? OK, that's good to know. I just apt-get installed tightvncserver and xvncviewer (which came up in apt-cache search vnc) on two of my hdinstalls last night to play with vnc. Well, now I don't have to install anything on my 25 other PCs in the LAN!

BTW, I use KNOPPIX and my students use KNOPPIX, so cross-platform is nice but not an issue.

Thanx,

How do your students start up Knoppix? CD/HDD? If CD, is it custom?

If your students are using the standard CD, then you are best to use KDE desktop sharing (actually it's your only option). Your students will have to start the server (using the 'Desktop Sharing' item in the menu) and will then have to tell you the password (and possibily their IP address) either by e-mail or vocally. Your students will also be able to decide if you can control their desktop or not (by default you can only view the desktop).

Voila, HTH.
