Ssh X Forwarding

[TheWalt]

I hate to even post the question but is there any way to enable X forwarding with a SSH session?  I did a forum search but didn't see anyone else ask this.  The usual -X switch isn't even available.

Thanks in advance.

Perfect, works great!  Just checking, when I go to remove dropbear it warns against 'task-bootstrap' being a dependent.  Is it ok to remove that also?

Thanks again!

task-bootstrap is a meta package that includes all of the packages that are needed to boot the machine, so don't remove it (with that said, depending on what commands you give ipkg, it may just remove that empty package, not the packages that are included with it.)

To remove dropbear (or anything else) without heeding the warnings about deps, use the --force-dependencies switch.

Try a plain 'ipkg remove' first

In my experience, using just

Code: [Select]

ipkg remove will only remove the empty package and none of the dependents.

Okay, take care if you try my method then.

'ipkg remove dropbear -recursive'

[lardman]

Doesn't that remove all of the dependent packages recursively? So removing task-bootstrap will remove pretty much everything?

Or does it remove things that depend on the package that's being removed? So removing dropbear will remove everything...
