Hi, I haven't given up on cygwin. I'll try and build my own installer on another machine. My problem was I was using cygwin/XFree/XWin on a 'production' machine as sub. for a proper KVM system. I'll go back to basics and prove my usage on a development system first. Meanwhile I've rigged my KVM up and/or am using PuTTY to control my Linux servers. The 'development system' is set up the same (I think!) with minimum XP Pro and only essential Windows functionality (+ Visual Studio). Don't hold your breath as other priorities may come into force.
Thanks for your help..I'll try to less blunt in future. Colin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
