I'm posting this from a box running DSL, VNCing to a server machine using Fedora Core 1. Everything is working perfectly, but I simply cannot figure out how to make the VNCserver's default desktop environment change from Gnome to Icewm! I've tried editing a bunch of different files in diffenent locations from suggestions on the net, but it always falls back to Gnome no matter what. I've even editied ~/.vnc/xstartup to run kde, and it still will only run Gnome.
Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.

I had to reboot the server machine this morning, and to my suprise, everything now works! Must be something that has to be loaded into memory at boot. Anyway, for posterity, here's my ~/.vnc/xstartup that gets IceWM via VNC from a client box..
Code:

The wireless network is working flawlessly now that I have a new Linksys Wireless-B. I just can't figure out why the Netgear MA311 didn't want to talk to the Wireless-G when it works fine with the Orinoco Gold PCMCIA. By the way, did you know the Wireless-G runs embedded Linux?!

How'd you ever come out with your wireless card?

Same problem. Got the madwifi to work on Knoppix. The module loads, the card is detected and blinks, trying to find the router, but nogo. I think WEP would have been the issue and dsiabled it, but this did not work either. Tried using Authentication with an open system vs. shared key - nothing.
Still trying.

What type router?
