easy

I finally got it up and running. It was my display drivers that where not correctly installed and so prevented loading the custom Houdini interface graphics. I reinstalled the drivers and hkey finally loaded. This was a big learning process for me and now I know that little bit more about Linux.

Thanks for everyone?fs help. I will sure help anyone that is new to Houdini and Linux.

Thanks I've just managed to get it working on Red hat. It is difficult to get started on Linux.

Thanks for the long reply! i excepted your answer anyway

Disregard some of the above. After reading a few FAQ'a i need to change my host name. I'l give it another go.
