The current version of the setup program, 2.850 (64 bit), on the "select p= ackages" 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' ? >> next question : if I delete the start menu option "Cygwin/x" and run >> the setup program for option "default", it doesn't re-create the >> start menu option "Cygwin/x" >>=20 >> is this 'feature' acknowledged, and is it being addressed? >=20 > The start menu link for for the X server is owned by the package xinit.=20 > If you reinstall that package, it should be recreated. That's the answer I was looking for. Thank you. I have a further question. Choosing menu item "Cygwin-X / X Win Server" bo= ots X windows. If you right click on the 'X' icon in the lower right side o= f the screen, it features applications xterm / emacs / notepad / xload. Is it possible to tailor the list of applications referenced above? to inc= lude say xclock, xeyes 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 in= terfaces? or does it only allow compilation of apps which use features of t= hose interfaces?=20=20=09=09=20=09=20=20=20=09=09=20=20 -- 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/
