The following is initialization.

  • Double click MacIntoshHD icon on Desktop
  • single click Application
  • double click Utilities
  • click X11 and drag to the shortcuts to the icons at the bottom of the Desktop

For future log-ins, just click on the X11 icon to open the first xterm. Other xterm's can then be opened from the Applications menu (top of Desktop).

From an xterm, use 'ssh' to get to a remote computer. X11-applications can be displayed from the remote computer to the MacIntosh display.
