I have two linux boxes hooked together via PPP. What command do I use
to run fvwm on one box with the display on the other?

Thanks,

John

Is this really what you want? Or do you want to run X-Window with fvwm
on one machine, start programs on the other and see the output on the
first?

I think you want the last one. So start X, and do this:

xhost + <second.machine.name>
telnet <second.machine.name>
export DISPLAY=<first.machine.name>:0.0

Now you can start the programs during your telnet session and see the
output on the screen of your box,

You could perhaps do it using the "-display" flag, but
it would be better with the "DISPLAY" environment
variable:

On the machine to receive the display of fvwm:

Ymachine> xhost +Xmachine

On the machine to run fvwm:

Xmachine> DISPLAY=Ymachine:0
Xmachine> export DISPLAY
Xmachine> fvwm95 &
