I'm a little confused as to what I should do where! :-)
I start up cygwin/x and it immediately displays the xdm login from the
slackware system. The only thing I can do then is log into to my
linux system.
Do I then need to run a *local* cygwin window on my win2k system and
run 'xwinclip'? In that case what will running 'xhost 127.0.0.1' on
the remote system do? (I know what xhost does, I just don't see what
it has to do with running xwinclip).
Or have I got hold of completely the wrong end of the stick?
