I tried that under ssh -Y from two machines on the LAN. On the full-sized PC & monitor, [root@BBB ~]# rpm -q --filesbypkg cobbler|less got me a list 28 screens long. (On the little EeePC701, it was well over 40.) So I installed most on the target. At the bottom of that, I see -- MOST: *stdin* (357,1) 100% I don't know what units "(357,1)" refers to (though I doubt the revolver caliber is involved), but isn't that a huge amount of space for one app? I also don't know how to search nor what to search for. I think the following lines from "man:most" in Konqueror (by the most legible display of man pages that I know of) are trying to tell me, but I don't get it : f, /, CTRL-F, FIND, GOLD PF3 Prompt for a string and search forward from the current line for ith distinct line containing the string. CTRL-G aborts. ? Prompt for a string and search backward for the ith distinct line containing the string. CTRL-G aborts. n Search for the next i lines containing an occurrence of the last search string in the direction of the previous search. Anyway, then I went to the target by way of the KVM switch, where there was now a message, typical afaict of several I had forgotten to mention. I transcribed it by hand, and will now try to type it : [66081.815656] usbhid 4-2.3:1.1: couldn't find an input interrupt endpoint Then I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and watched the boot messages. This time it stopped one line higher, at Registering binary handler for Windows applications [OK] but has since added five more endpoint messages, all with different numbers (preceded now by two or three spaces), but otherwise the same. It seems to add one more every time I use the KVM switch to get to it. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
