Amanda Dear Amanda ! I have packed a Wise-Installer with a some-what minimal installation. It uses the windows fonts and this way saves 14M of fonts. It does include a full bash + utils and SSH so it is not as minimal as it can be. The Install.exe is about 12M. I can send you the .exe but you will find that it has some specialized stuff for the purpose it was made. (automatic connection to a Linux application server). I can also send you the files listing, and the wise script, so you can pack your own. Files listing and script would be nice to lookat. Any possiblility to have it online somewhere? -- Jani Tiainen

A listing of the Cygwin/X packages is given below; a listing of the general Cygwin packages would be beyond the scope of this document. In the listing of Cygwin/X packages the guide says which X11 packages are required, but it says nothing about the general Cygwin packages that are needed for a minimal X server (they are beyond the scope of this document). That's what my original query is trying to get at. (Sorry for the confusion.) Amanda

That's what my original query is trying to get at. (Sorry for the confusion.) yes you are right ... but half page later the same document says You must select the xorg-x11-base package, which is located in the X11 category. The xorg-x11-base package is a helper package that automatically selects a working set of packages for you that will allow Cygwin/X to work. - You may also want to ensure that the inetutils and openssh packages are selected if you wish to use telnet and ssh to connect to remote machines.
Re: re : Re: Fwd: Minimal replacement for Exceed
If you don't need full Cygwin and latest version, coLinux people create minimum package. I don't use this, and I don't know well. Maybe it is worth looking at. http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/XCoLinux http://www.digitalfire.co.za/index.php?page=18 -- Kensuke Matsuzaki mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://peppermint.jp
Minimal replacement for Exceed
I want to find a replacement for Hummingbird Exceed. I know that Cygwin includes an X server, but I'm not interested in all of Cygwin. What would be the minimum I'd need to install to be able to run Cygwin/X? In case it matters, I'd like to run the X server with the -multiwindow and -clipboard parameters. Thanks! Amanda
