1. load the rdesktop extension and set it to load onboot.

2. use the command rdesktop --help to get a list of the command line options and script a connection.  You can set the window geometry, domain, user, password and host for a completely automatic login - though it is considered bad form to put passwords in a script.

3. invoke your script at startup using the ~/.X.d functionality.

Hi ekapco
If you have NLA (Network Level Authorization) enabled on your server, you'll want to use  FreeRDP.tcz  instead. As far as
I know, none of the other packages in the repo can handle NLA. Create a text file in  /home/tc/.X.d  containing:
Code: [Select]
xfreerdp -u Rich -p PASSWORD --plugin cliprdr --plugin rdpdr --data disk:msrb:/home/tc/msrbcusips/templates disk:raw:/home/tc/msrbcusips/buffer -- x.x.x.x &It doesn't matter what you call the file, the command in it will automatically be executed once the GUI is up.
The  x.x.x.x  is your IP address. This part deserves some explanation:
Code: [Select]
--data disk:msrb:/home/tc/msrbcusips/templates disk:raw:/home/tc/msrbcusips/buffer --It maps two of my local directories to the server so I can access them using Windows Explorer.
/home/tc/msrbcusips/templates  will be listed in Windows Explorer as  msrb
/home/tc/msrbcusips/buffer  will be listed in Windows Explorer as  raw
This allows me to drag/drop files inside the server window between the two machines.

As far as installing Tinycore itself, that question belongs under  TCB Q&A Forum. First, go to  http://tinycorelinux.net/
and read the installation instructions. Then, if you get stuck, ask a specific question.
