Hi Harold, Thanks a lot for your answer, and sorry for my late reply ! :)
> 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. I am asking for both ! :) About the elusive "minimal install". I would like to know which packages I should select if my goal is to run the Xfree server only ? Is the installer able to solve packages dependencies so that if I select the Xfree packages only, the installer will also install the other required packages ? > Several people have looked into the "minimal install" in the past. > They may have setup some seperate websites describing what they > discovered.

I guess the answer to my previous question about dependencies handling of the installer is no. I did not find any useful website describing which packages to select. I would be interested in such website addresses if you have any. > Additionally, there is a section that tells how to use XDMCP: > http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-session.html This link answer to my second question.

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 ?

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
