Hi, As an exercise in minimalism (cygwin in full is now nearly as big as a 'reasonable' Linux installation!) I have cut down the installed software to give a XWin server for remote XDMCP (KDE login to redhat 8.0 and 7.3 servers) and (using PuTTY as ssh client) to display 'windows framed' X windows on a XP Pro (SP1) client. I have managed to get the size of the cygwin installation down to ~20MB (+ PuTTY ~1.8MB). This includes the 'core' set of fonts and XKB (for gb keyboard in my case).
Directory contents are cygwin/bin:- cygwin1.dll cygz.dll sh.exe cygwin/etc/X11 XF86Config xkb(dir) cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin:- libX11.dll libXmuu.dll multixwin.bat XWin.exe xsetroot.exe cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 fonts(dir) locale(dir) rgb.txt xkb And that�s about all you need! OK if I want to do Unix stuff 'directly' on my Windows machine I can't..but I already have linux to work with elsewhere. As a remote admin. system (KVM substitute?) it can't be beat. I'll provide more details (of my hack!) if anyone interested! Thanks for a great product (especially XWin -multiwindow -clipboard) Colin
