Re: startxwin not found; solution

"startxwin not found" and nothing relevant in /usr/bin. The problem was that the Default setting of the installer http://cygwin.com/setup.exe for the X11 package is "Skip". So when you've stepped through the intaller to the "Select Packages" screen, click X11 and set it to "Install". As the documents tell you, xinit is required for startxwin, and that rquires setup to bring in the necessary X11 dependencies. How could you spend 2 months on this without looking it up?
