Dear Jim, Thanks. Those instructions were for the direct opporsit of what I want to do, but thanks for taking the time to find them :)
Dear Don, Todo list tasks... Learn what cygwin is. Learn what xfree86 is. Learn what XDMP is. Don't be frustrated that yet again you have to learn about three other things you've never heard of just to do something on a linux box that can be done on windows following the installation of one package. Don you have to remember that this is linux and not windows. These guys have probablly never used tools like Wise Install Wizard and don't know just how powerfull the installation tools are. They may also not know just how much testing and retesting most windows developers do to make sure they've included everything in their installation packages so that an installation doesn't fall over during installation just because the owner of the machine hasn't previously installed something that you might take for granted. Don you'll get there eventually even if you have to learn enought about programming in Linux to be able to write some installation tools that parallel what has been around for Windows for the past 10 years.
