/usr/sbin/sshd exists, but not clear to me how this would help...
ie sshd lets me login from another machine,
but this is not what I am trying to do

and once again thanks for the fantastic support
So... errr... WHY? What are you trying to do???

dev is the PC name on the kindle in my case:

[root@kindle root]# ssh me@dev

me@dev's password:
Welcome to Linux Mint 13 Maya (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-35-generic i686)

Cannot open display "default display"
me@dev ~ $
So at that point I would be "in"

However

me@dev ~ $ midori

would give

Midori - Cannot open display:
Or
me@dev ~ $ DISPLAY=:0 midori

would work but open the browser on your PC not the kindle.


So... If you are trying to run a midori browser on the KINDLE that is in fact installed on the PC.. say so. as this is indeed possible.

if you are simply trying to start applications on your PC from KINDLE then you already have the solution.
