I've been doing this for years and suspect many other Cygwin aficionados do the same. I asked a related question In this link: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-11/msg00014.html and was offered this command line to remove KDE and Gnome: setup-x86.exe -c GNOME,KDE My first question was how to remove both KDE and Gnome which are already installed, and I used the suggested command to successfully remove the existing KDE and Gnome categories: When I updated Cygwin a few weeks later, I did not know how to omit KDE and Gnome during the install/update on the setup-x86.exe command line so KDE and Gnome were re-installed. For me, a final solution is the set of switches to tell setup-x86.exe to install everything EXCEPT KDE and Gnome. With KDE and Gnome out of the picture, I'd think there would be plenty of space for those people who find 32 bit Cygwin perfectly satisfactory, despite the fact that (by now, I assume) 64 bit and 32 bit have feature equality. -- 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
