How is this for a coKnoppix startup sequence?

(the networking problem still needs to be solved)

autorun.inf starts "vncviewer -listen" in that mode the viewer is
minimized to the tray listening for a connection.
coLinux daemon is then started. (possibly as a service)

at the end of the boot process an rc script starts vncserver with
appropriate options then
vncconnect -display :1 192.168.0.1

the vncviewer then automaticly pops up!

The only problem is figureing out what geometry to start the vncserver with.
I like
vncserver -geometry 1000x685 -depth 16
for a 1024x768 display on windows this is still reasonable but not ideal
if the user is running larger but what if the user is running 800x600
one possible solution would be a little windows program that gathers the
needed info and makes it avaliable on an embedded httpd

(I could probably write this in a tclkit/starkit (there is a tcl httpd
avaliable and also modules to read the registry) unless someone comes up
with a better way of doing this)  Or someone wants to do it in C++

Let me know If you think you will need it.

It could share a runtime with the frontend that I wrote for e2fstools if
you choose to include a version of it.

 it is called topoenlarge but I could customize it for coKnoppix.
