Thanks Eric but I just remembered that you probably didn't build the
Xvnc module for the PPC arch in the LBE. So it's really a moot point.
I am just going to state a known limitation in my release notes that
Monitor/Control will not work with PPC cpu clients. It fails
gracefully on PPC clients, which is good.
