X-Enigmail-Draft-Status: N1110 Message-ID: <57CD1E1E.1070304@signal100.com> Date: Mon, 05 Sep 2016 07:26:00 -0000 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.3.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes X-SW-Source: 2016-q3/txt/msg00010.txt.bz2 I've been a Cygwin user on and off for many years (and thank you to all for the hard work put into it) but I've never got to grips with the GUI environment available. A lot of the information available on the web on this subject seems to be outdated. Using the current Cygwin (with a working base install) running on Windows 10 x64, what would I need to do to get, say, a KDE desktop session up and running? It's not clear to me what packages I need to install, what manual config I'd need, if any, and what I'd need to run to start it. I've looked for docs on this but not been able to find them, so if there any please do point me in the right direction. Any help gratefully received! -- Mark Rousell
