rdesktop and rdp

Some rdesktop parameters :

screen resolution

geometry
rdesktop -g 1600x1200

but also, if you don't want full screen still rather large :

geometry %
rdesktop -g 80%

Actually the main way i startup an rdesktop in power is :

bit depth
rdesktop-vrdp -a 16 -g 2048x1280 192.168.2.5

Because of different problems with colors, and it fits within one screen.

exit full screen

If you do use full screen getting out of it is sometimes a problem, use F8 and you get some control back.

mounting a cdrom

mount disks
rdesktop disk:cdrom=/mnt/cdrom

This will make your local cd station available on the rdesktop machine.
