Hello! You're certainly steaming in the right direction. The big problem is that the folks at Cygwin do not tell you is that the setup routines need to be run in install mode to install everything. Then for the X server to be running there is an application attached to your task bar. The thing we click on to bring up the list of installed programs and stuff. Look for an entry labeled "Cygwin X11" or along those lines. Inside it should be the routines to start it. If its not there, then something was not properly installed. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
