Hi there,
i have successfuly running utorrent with WebUI and FTP Server on my Leeware.
But how can i set up firefox or another webbrowser on leeware, that i can see and use it in VNC Viewer?
How can i run it on wine for example?
Hope someone can help me.
Thank you very much

theoretical it needs to working but i really have no clue of linux.
The second problem is, that utorrent is hiding the commandbox on the vnc viewer so i cant type commands...
And its not need to be firefox, it can be another browser with less recources

is really simple : you install it in putty (yum -y install firefox) and in your vnc, you type in the console : firefox ^^

As there is no window manager, i run two vncserver in putty (vncserver :1 and vncserver :2)
I launch two viewers on my pc, two see them both. In the first one i run wine uttorent.exe and in the second, firefox

i managed to do it on leeware, but by installing kde desktop + firefox
it runs ok, kde doesn't take that much ram.

But after i installed it, i realize it wasn't very useful for me.

Also don't seed the interest of running forefox with wine, since there is a linux version of firefox

http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ is the tutorial i used, pretty straight forward, use the yum method.

after that, just do : yum install firefox
and you are all set.

to start kde, just type for shell once done : startkde &


hope this helps!

Could someone say me why the vcn viewer is slow as ass?
Is this a memory issue or something else?
Its impossible to surf around the web with firefox over vnc proper...

Cool guys thx for the tips, just got firefox up and running on my Leeware.

Most useful for running torrents from trackers that don't use passkeys and use IP addresses instead for ratio tracking (ie Demonoid).
