Does this also work, if I install the Xmins on the USB-Stick? So that I can use it like XliveUSB-Stick (like the XliveCD from http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/?

I've just finished making a small distribution of X/Cygwin (only 2Mb), and have placed it in the following address: http://www.iteisa.com/xmins/ (xmins-->XWin Minimal Installation) What I've done basically is take the necessary cygwin and X/Cygwin files and package them in a convenient (and small, I might add) way, so that I can carry it around in a usb stick, or download it in a short time from the internet in case of need. I know it's not a full X/Cygwin server (most extensions are not working, like xkb or xfixes), but it's enough to i.e. run a remote gnome session or start some programs through ssh in a remote host. There are some things I don't actually like about how it has turned out, actually, the main being that it doesn't support xkb(it always said couldn't load keymap, I think it's because of the binary- mounting /tmp thingy) and that it is needing windows scripting host right now to ask for a host to query. For the later the solution would be to create a frontend to allow selecting most of the xserver options such as -query -indirect, etc... This frontend would also allow me to delete all those awfull entries from the start menu (there are 9 right now) -- Juan José Gutiérrez de Quevedo Director Técnico ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ITEISA (http://www.iteisa.com)
