Sure (assuming a network between them ;-) You'll run something like "xhost +box-B" on box-A, and then "xterm -display box-A:0" on box-B. "man xhost". You'll probably want to look at some of the other X11 man pages, too. > Presently box-B does not have X running, since its XF86 > does not support i810e boards.

May as well just install XFree86 on box-B, but just don't bother to configure and run a server. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html
