first of all, regarding the Cygwin setup program; the options are
install / re-install / un-install / default
is it correct that to install only the latest updates, I would choose
the option 'default' ?
I'm not sure what text you are looking at.
The options for an individual package which is already installed are
'reinstall', 'uninstall', 'keep' and specific versions other than the
currently installed one (if any).
I can't see "default" anywhere.
If you mean the default version, then yes, when "curr" is selected at
the top, all packages which have updates, will be updated.
The current version of the setup program, 2.850 (64 bit), on the "select packages"
screen, features a "default" option.
Please see; http://cpm86.com/default.jpg
The four options are; Install; Reinstall; Uninstall; Default
I just want to be sure; to install only the latest updates, I would choose
'Default' ?
Oh yes, on the category view, you have that option next to each
category, which does what you expect.
I have a further question. Choosing menu item "Cygwin-X / X Win
Server" boots X windows. If you right click on the 'X' icon in the
lower right side of the screen, it features applications xterm /
emacs / notepad / xload.
Is it possible to tailor the list of applications referenced above?
to include say xclock, xeyes
Yes. See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/configure-cygwin-xwinrc.html
And yet another question; I note the presence of a number of files in
\usr\bin which start with 'gnome'. Does Cygwin/x feature gnome or kde
as user interfaces? or does it only allow compilation of apps which
use features of those interfaces?
I don't think KDE or GNOME desktop environments are available.
