I am running Cygwin Xfree on a computer which has never seen a regular Cygwin installation (Windows NT4). It takes about 10MB disk space.
All binaries (*.exe; *.dll) are in a directory D:\xfree\bin (8,1 MB). I have set a path to that directory in xfree_start.bat.
Besides that you need fonts and some locale information. I have therefore put the following directory tree onto the C: drive, because this drive seems to be searched automatically:
c:\usr\x11r6\lib\x11
/x11 contains the file rgb.txt and the two subdirectories /fonts and /locale.
/locale and its contents was just copied from the regular distribution, taking 423kB disk space.
/fonts contains only /100dpi /75dpi /Pex and /misc with 273kB disk space.
Then I start xfree with the xfree_start.bat file shown below. And that's probably all about it.
Regards
Holger
