I can't remember using anything other than the xncd19c file with mine
(I've just checked and I do still have it - it also seems to be on the
web in a few places). From memory I set up a Linux TFTP server and
hosted the image on that.

That was enough to get an XDM login window up and from there things
worked just as though I was sitting at the Linux machine itself. Pretty
nifty - as I said it was just lack of audio support that really stopped
me from using the terminal seriously. :-(

cheers
