I'm not sure what text you are looking at.

I can't see default anywhere. If you mean the default version, then yes, when curr is selected at the top, all packages which have updates, will be updated. The current version of the setup program, 2.850 (64 bit), on the select packages screen, features a default option. Please see; http://cpm86.com/default.jpg The four options are; Install; Reinstall; Uninstall; Default I just want to be sure; to install only the latest updates, I would choose 'Default' ? Oh yes, on the category view, you have that option next to each category, which does what you expect. I have a further question. Choosing menu item Cygwin-X / X Win Server boots X windows. If you right click on the 'X' icon in the lower right side of the screen, it features applications xterm / emacs / notepad / xload. Is it possible to tailor the list of applications referenced above? to include say xclock, xeyes Yes. See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/configure-cygwin-xwinrc.html And yet another question; I note the presence of a number of files in \usr\bin which start with 'gnome'. Does Cygwin/x feature gnome or kde as user interfaces? or does it only allow compilation of apps which use features of those interfaces? I don't think KDE or GNOME desktop environments are available. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

The start menu link for for the X server is owned by the package xinit. If you reinstall that package, it should be recreated. That's the answer I was looking for. Thank you.
