Hi Julian, Just type "switchdesk KDE" (or GNOME or...) to change desktops.
thanks - works a treat.
For the cd burning, you will probably script your way through a few utilities,
but cdrecord will probably do the bulk of what your after. It is likely
already installed. "man cdrecord"
Got it. Thanks. And a brief Google search has pointed me to a few scripts I can work from.
The only other machines on the LAN are a Mac (OS-X), a Win-98 box and a XP Home edition.If the 266 had a good video card & decent ram, and you have a fast primary machine, you could just run remote X.
Maybe the OS-X could be a remote X server ?
