"setup.exe" doesn't support conditional dependencies but for those that would prefer to install/use another X-Server, I'm sure they can figure out how to tell "setup.exe" not to install Cygwin's X-Server. I'm sure the facility you're talking about could be added to "setup.exe" if someone were interested in providing patches to enable this though. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
