Fedora Core 2 & VNC?

[Denny Lee]

Since Fedora Core 2 does not include XFree86, are there any suggested
VNC apps that will allow me to remotely connect from my WinXP box to my
Fedora box?  Or should I stick to installing XFree86 and Tight VNC?

Thanks!

See
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/RELEASE...

-> X Window System

FC2 comes with xorg-x11 instead of former XFree86. So what is your
problem?

Is there any real difference between "Real VNC" and "Tight VNC"?
Thanks

What is wrong with the VNC that ships with FC2?

Why would you have to install XFree86 to install TightVNC?

My bad - need to read through the packages better - I didn't notice the VNC
already installed and I was trying to install Tight VNC when it was
complaining about XFree86 not being included when I did its install.
Thanks!

I see.  You will probably want to let the TightVNC people know that their
package is broken.  It should depend on files, not the XFree86 package
name.
