Fedora directory users - Feb 2006 - DS Console from a remote machine?

Hi,

I have installed fedora-ds in a remote machine in datacenter. The server does
not have X
installed, nor it is possible to access it from my place. So is it possible to
get the
Console running from my desktop (Debian Linux) PC ? What Steps are needed to get
that
working ?

Copy starconsole and java into one directory on your Workstation, set  
JAVA_HOME properly to the directory where the java binary and the  
libs are located.
Then simply do a ./startconsole -a http....

Nice to hear :-)

And for all the Mac OSX Users here:

export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ 
1.5.0/
cd ~/fedora-ds
./startconsole -u admin -a http://127.0.0.1:2341/

do the job :-)

Just fyi. JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin doesn''t work, /usr/bin/java is a script.

And here is a diff for the startconsole script:
