[rescue] OT: Q on Cygwin XFree 4.0.1 on PC - anyone used this ?

[Ken Hansen]

Thanks for the reply...

I had a few problems, first the install of Cygwin di
dnot include the needed bunzip2 executable, os I had
to find that - no biggie, but it took time...

Then I started up the XFree 4.0.1 X Server, and it
couldn't find a particular .dll file - it turnsout
this is a known problem because Cygwin and Xfree need
an upgrade to ncurses (or some such) for the xterm
application - I couldn't make sense of their
instructions to re-install the cygwin package twice,
but then i didn't spend too much time on it... Maybe
I'll try again and see what I come up with.

If it works, that owuld be great (X Windows on my
802.11b-enabled laptop)!

Thanks fo rthe encouragement,

Ken
