Hi Shawn,
I found an RPM on fr.rpmfind.net that works fine under YDL 2.1:
vnc-3.3.3r1-mendenhall.ppc.rpm
here the link:
http://fr.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/linuxPPC/contrib/software/Applications/Networki
ng/vnc-3.3.3r1-mendenhall.ppc.html
here the output from rpm -qi vnc:

Summary : VNC the Virtual Network Computing
Description :
From http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc/index.html:
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote
display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop'
environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from
anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.
It would be nice if YDL thought about including it in their distro, since
at the moment, due to the incomplete support of video on the ANS, this is
the only way, to work on my ANS using a GUI - and it works great! Only
caveat: in 16bit colours, you get funky colours on the Mac but 8bit and
24bit work fine =8]
BTW, I tried several different rpms for ppc architecture, but only this one
gave me usable colours, all the others I tried, screwed up colours in any
depth.
Hope that helped.
Greetings,
Alex
