Hi Thomas,


Thanks for your advice and URL.


Performed following test but failed.


# kvm -hda ubuntu6.06.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d -vnc IP:0
Could not parse VNC address

# kvm -hda ubuntu6.06.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -boot d -vnc IP:1
Could not parse VNC address


# dpkg -l | grep vnc
No printout


I suppose VNC not installed.  Which of the following packages need to
install?
vnc4server 
linuxvnc 
python-gtk-vnc


TIA


B.R.
Stephen
