Okay, here goes.
I've been trying most of the night to get an x session up on my win98se
machine.
The first problem I ran into was a username with a space in it. This is a
single user machine, and logs me on as Archai Valkryn. That space wreaked
havoc with pathnames. Eventually, I got it sorted out.
...and turned to trying to get an X session up. It won't go. If I just try
to run xwin.exe directly, it gives an error about not being able to find
cygwinx.dll. I assume that's a bad thing.
The install also didn't give me a startxwin.bat file--anywhere. What next?
