How to get X-windows on a remote computer with SSH

[Erik Grootjans]

Sorry about the HTML layout in my message.
I did turn it of, so i hope the html part is no longer a part of the
message.

I do not have any problems with booting the computer, without the
keyboard or mouse.
There are no error messages or  qurstions or stopping on booting. The
computer just starts normally and i get the fedora inlog screen (when i
connect a monitor to it).
ok this is no problem. Tell me about step 2.

Erik
