i want VNC to auto load,

i know i have to add it to a runlevel but which? and what is the command to do it?

also too sence the server is only 400mhz 310mb ram or somthing like that will it improve performence if i runlevel 3 (with no gui?) and if it will help the system run faster then how do i use telnet (is that what i need to use??) for remote admin the commandline so that way the server can run in commandline to save rescorces and then when i need to use it i just use telnet or whatever and type in startx then use vnc to start working on it.

is this process gona work?

thanks for ur help!

Which distro do you run? This thing sometimes changes from distro to distro...

Anyways, you can look in '/etc/inittab' for more info on your runlevel conf.

(Most of the time, the file is well commented, so no need for explanation)

oh sry officle mandrake 10.0

i believe runlevel 5 is gui for it
runlevel 4 is not used
runlevel 3 is the step right below gui

Ok try: 'chkconfig --list', it'll list all available services...

To add, let's say 'sendmail', run the following:
As root of course.

I hope this helps.

well i was also too wondering wat was the command line to start the tightvnc server cuzz that whole line needs to be put in the startup (cuzz i think it has password and such along with it)

Well, I found something interesting:

Next time, try searching a little on google.com; it can answer most of your questions(you just have to get used to it).
But if you have unanswered questions, don't hesitate to ask here.

what about remote commandline (or just sending commands to the comp no gui) would i use telnet for that?

Telnet isn't secure enough, use 'ssh' instead.

i thought SSH was a protocall not a program

hey when i try to run the vnc server it only runs local is there a boot arugment i have to type in or somthing so that it recives calls from the internet?
