Frank, Cygwin/XFree86 is a subproject of the Cygwin project that is focused on the XFree86 (a free X Window System implementation) port to Cygwin.
If you install Cygwin/XFree86, then you have by definition installed Cygwin. You can select the Cygwin/XFree86 packages under the XFree86 category in Cygwin's setup.exe. Select only the XFree86-base package (in addition to the other default packages) if you are unsure of which XFree86 packages you need. Harold Lane, Frank L wrote: > Hi List, > > My first post.
