Re: Booting from a remote machine

 Steve,

I am not sure if you can do what you are asking.  A better solution
might be to use tightvnc http://www.tightvnc.com .  This will provide
terminal server like access to your machine.  This way she could run
any necessary windows programs and everything else on RH.  Your machine
could be accessed either with vncviewer or using any current web
browser.

If you want to speed up the transmission some (it is pretty good in the
native mode) install openssh http://www.openssh.org (should be on your
cd or download mirror) and set that up.

HTH,
John
