Thanks for your reply. Sorry for the confusion. I guess what I am trying to
do is to use the
HDS@Workstation as an Xterminal, I don't need the netOS operating system
that it can download from
my Linux box. I think ( not sure) I need to set up xdm correctly. It sortof
works. I get a KDE login
box on my HDS but when I login I cannot see Kpanel, icons etc. I think it
is because all the memory is
taken up with netOS. SO my question is, how do I boot up the HDS purely as
an Xterminal?
Thanks,
Bernie.
