[svlug] X-Windows emulation under Win98

[Charles Peterman]

SuperX is an X windows server designed to run on a Win box and connect to
a real machine running X.  This makes one of the machines in my room more
comfortable for me to work on.  (SO and I have religious/ practical issues
regarding installing a Linux on the home_office box.  Note that the home
office box is also the one with the nice monitor as opposed to the 14"
from hell.)   So I followed the instructions for making one of the Linux
boxes in the house (we have two full time, one part time :) in the
NCD-X-Windows mini howto.  I modified inetd.conf to allow tftp and bootp
to execute and I added an entry to my machine for in /etc/bootptab.  Since
the server is behind the firewall, I'm not worried this type of exposure.

No dice.  

So here are the lines added to inetd.conf

tftp    dgram   udp     wait    nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.tftpd /tftpboot
bootps  dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/bootpd        bootpd -c/tftpboot

And in /etc/bootptab

charlesX:gw=10.200.200.1:\
         ip=10.200.200.4:\
         sm=255.255.255.0:\
         bf=Xncd19r:

Any blatant mistakes?

So before I get back to twiddling, have any of you used SuperX to avoid
Win98?  Are there any peculiarities to configuration that are not clearly
documented?  

As always, thanks for your help,

-Charles
