then as stated:
rpm -ivh "filename" (as root)
service vncserver start (will make change in current runlevel)
chkconfig vncserver on (will make "on" state permanent over run level
change / reboot)
vncserver :1 (or whatever)
 
...point viewer to machines ip:session
 
PS - VNC is a part of RH9 - all you needed to do was run
"redhat-config-packages" and search on VNC - it would have prompted you
for the appropriate disk.  Or even use "up2date vncserver" for a machine
on RHN.  As a new user I would strongly encourage you to look at the
available "redhat-con*" packages, and the RH docs (which are, in my
arguably heavily biased opinion (but you know I'm right) the best
available).

	What distro?  If it's Red Hat or RPM based, did you load an RPM
or 
	install from source? 

	Generally: 
	# /etc/init.d/vncserver start 
	(on RH boxen: "service vncserver start") 

	# vncserver :1 
	(or :whatever screen you want) - first run will prompt for
password 
	(will create a .vnc directory in users home with password file -
nuke 
	it to reset password)  


	point VNCViewer to "IP.ADD.RESS:WHATEVER" and enjoy. 

	Defaults to TWM for desktop/window management.  I highly
recommend 
	blackbox for anything over a WAN / BW constrained; can run
GNOME/KDE on 
	LAN (another edit in the users .vnc directory)  

	HTH 
	Don
