Re: XWin: necessary internet access?

[Holger Vogt <holger dot vogt at ims dot fhg dot de>]

Fergus,

I am running Cygwin Xfree on a computer which has never seen a regular 
Cygwin installation (Windows NT4). It takes about 10MB disk space.

All binaries (*.exe; *.dll) are in a directory D:\xfree\bin (8,1 MB). I 
have set a path to that directory in xfree_start.bat.

Besides that you need fonts and some locale information. I have 
therefore put the following directory tree onto the C: drive, because 
this drive seems to be searched automatically:

c:\usr\x11r6\lib\x11

/x11 contains the file rgb.txt and the two subdirectories /fonts and 
/locale.

/locale and its contents was just copied from the regular distribution, 
taking 423kB disk space.

/fonts contains only /100dpi /75dpi /Pex and /misc with 273kB disk space.

Then I start xfree with the xfree_start.bat file shown below. And that's 
probably all about it.

Regards

Holger
