They could create a custom install if they wanted. The Cygwin setup program can download packages from any site. They would need to select the packages for a minimal install, create a new setup.ini, and mirror those packages on their download site. > > I would love for someone to post a proposal for inclusion of a XFree86 > package to the cygwin-apps mailing list using the guidelines at > http://cygwin.com/setup.html but so far no one has been willing to do > that. > The first step is to build Cygwin-style packages. The second step is to create a local install directory with custom setup.ini and packages. The third step is to get it included into the standard cygwin install. I thought someone already did the packaging. One question is do we want to separate it into multiple packages. Another is what to name the packages; xfree86 or xoncygwin would be good choices. I think multiple packages is a good idea. Mainly so the server executable can be updated without updating the other files. - Ian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.znark.com/
