Good idea. I'm going to call it xfree86-xwin though. I think I'll put the startup-scripts.tgz in this package. An extra bonus with this package would be to create minimized installs that just talk XDMCP to some display manager, and has no X applications or fonts by its own. That's how I used CygWin/XFree86 anyway.

I have uploaded the .tar.bz2 packages to http://www.znark.com/cygwin/. The site is limited in bandwidth so it would be best if someone copied them somewhere permanent. If anyone wants to build their own copies, they can use the build.sh scripts in that directory.

I got rid of the multiple doc and fonts packages cause I was having trouble with the naming and directories. Plus, I assumed the people would want to install them together. The packages are now: xfree-base xfree-devel xfree-docs xfree-fonts xfree-xfs xfree-xnest xfree-xvfb xfree-xprt I don't have a machine that people can easily download the full files from. I can post the setup.* files and scripts I used to build the packages. - Ian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.znark.com/
