Re: Get IO Error opening file
Hi, one follows the other. Try to find this file via Google or Yahoo, download it manually to the location where cygwin stores its files on your machine and then try to install it again. This happens once in a while. Maybe the path is wrong or the file is missing on the server.

Re: Using XWin.exe to connect to a linux X Server
Hi, DISPLAY on the Linux box must be set to the IP address of the cygwin box. But DISPLAY on the cygwin box must be set to either localhost or the IP address of this machine.

As the number of users is growing may I suggest a mailing list run by cygwin dealing with applications which are contributed?
