Hi,
I spent some time browsing the web and the archives of this mailing list but did not find a step by step tutorial/howto explaining how to set-up an XDM session on Windows to log on a remote Unix/Linux workstation (as an X terminal does).
It isn't entirely clear if you are asking about the elusive "minimal install" or if you are just asking how to use XDMCP from Cygwin/XFree86. Since I don't know what you are asking, here is the info on how to install Cygwin/XFree86 in the User's Guide:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-xfree-installing.html
Additionally, there is a section that tells how to use XDMCP:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-session.html
What is the minimal set of packages to select in the "setup.exe" installer ? Will the "setup.exe" handle package dependencies so that I can clear all selected packages and select the only Xfree packages ? What is the exact list of required packages for this only usage of Cygwin environment ?
Several people have looked into the "minimal install" in the past. They may have setup some seperate websites describing what they discovered. The Cygwin/XFree86 project does not include a minimal installation as one of its goals at this time... any information on this will likely come from individuals on the list or other sources.
Is there a web site explaining how to set the Cygwin configuration files ?
Specifically, what configuration files?
Hope that helps,
Harold
