ciao, Installing MacX was surprisingly simple, until I realized that the appendix that I was directed to did not contain the information I so sorely sought. Page 2-7 of the MacX installation guide says: "Whether you plan to run MacX on a network or stand-alone system, you need to have a network kernel set up." OK, no problem, page 2-8 continues: "Go to Appendix A, "Setting up a Network Kernel," for instructions about using the newconfig command to create an NFS (R) or a BNET (R) network kernel." Appendix A states: "If you do not have an Ethernet (R) card, the system does not prompt you for any networking information and displays these messages instead:" [Messages deleted] I tried: newconfig nfs newconfig bnet both with the same results. When an X application is launched from the command shell (e.g., xcalc&) it errors out with "Unable to open dream:0.0" (where dream is the name of the local host). The application MacX is up and running. From the MacX application itself, the host dialog (from New Command...) can not resolve the address of Dream. Anyone have a clue what is needed to get MacX working on a stand-alone? Thanks! -- mas But when things go wrong, wrong with you, It hurts me too.
