(oddly, selecting xterm instead does not pull in everything as I expected.) But why is adwaita-icon-theme a necessary dependency for xinit? I'm not installing gnome... 2. I previously deliberately installed the older Tcl/Tk 8.5.18 instead of 8.6. rerunning the installer to add in more X stuff automagically updated to 8.6 again. Shouldn't a specific version chosen in a previous install be sticky somehow, or ask if an update is desired? The ability to freeze selected packages while everything else updates, and know about it, seems useful to me. thanks Lloyd Wood lloyd.wood@yahoo.co.uk http://about.me/lloydwood -- 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
