Re: Can any one please tell me..



Hi oomen,
    thanks for the reply. but the main problem is that currently i dont have
any network
connectionbetween these 2 pc's & the only way to transfer files between
these 2 machines is
thru floppies. ie why i asked for that.sorry for not explaining my whole
setup.also if i
purchase 2 network card & network it properly ,how do i configure my xserver
so
that i can enjoy gui in the other machine. somethink like the thin client
concept.

TIA
Biju
