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

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. Free Life Boaz

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

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
