I am attempting to mount and run a necessarily reduced Cygwin and selected applications from a 64MB USB stick drive. It's built incrementally (as follows: include a .exe in /bin; then, if that fails with a "missing .dll" message include the .dll too) and at approx 48MB usage including a massive statistics application program it works just fine. I'd like to include X (specifically xdvi.exe to read .dvi files). In this context the main system (i.e. complete Cygwin on a HD) is started by start XWin -multiwindow run rxvt -display localhost:0.0 -e bash xdvi test.dvi (that's for 98SE: in XP I omit "start") and this works faultlessly. As far as I know all components necessary to achieve the same end are included on the stick (i.e. there are no more "missing .dll" announcements). Unfortunately I must be wrong because even before starting rxvt I find XWin is "very transient". By this I mean that after the command "XWin -multiwindow" the X icon appears briefly in the system tray in the taskbar, but then evaporates almost immediately. Then, of course, the rxvt line fails because the display cannot be found. I have tried any and all of XWin &, XWin -multiwindow &, running XWin after bash rather than before ... I cannot get it to "stay". I am sorry not to have made my circumstances any clearer than they are (e.g. what's on the stick). AND I know it is disagreeable / impossible to offer advice for non-standard systems. I attach a cygcheck -srv in case it is obvious from that what further necessary component I still lack. Thank you for any help. Fergus
