I have just set up RH7.3 as an NFS server with Samba on a PII 233 with =
128Mb RAM and a 4.5Gb HDD and am having one or two problems which I hope =
someone can help me with.
1. Can you run Xwindows directly on a server - whenever I try it just =
crashes (Xwindows that is not the server). The book I have (RH7.2 Bible) =
keeps referring to running utilities (eg neat) in a terminal window, =
suggesting that Xwindows will run, or am I missing something here?
2. On the subject of the "neat" command, it does not appear to have been =
installed on my serever (or will not run from the bash prompt), so I =
can't actually configure any hosts. Is there a different command I need =
to use in ver 7.3 or do I have to install it from CD, in which case, how =
do I do this?
Initially, I am trying to get the server simply talking to an old Win 98 =
machine on which I have configured the TCP/IP networking, but when I get =
this working I will be using the machine primarily to run network =
installs of RH7.0 on a couple of old P133's and just generally play =
around with the networking, although later I may just reconfigure the =
machine as a web server, but that is some months down the line yet.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Phil
