Re: new subscriber

Frank,

Cygwin/XFree86 is a subproject of the Cygwin project that is focused on the XFree86 (a free X Window System implementation) port to Cygwin.

If you install Cygwin/XFree86, then you have by definition installed Cygwin. You can select the Cygwin/XFree86 packages under the XFree86 category in Cygwin's setup.exe. Select only the XFree86-base package (in addition to the other default packages) if you are unsure of which XFree86 packages you need.

Hi List,

My first post.  I tried to get the faq and list info and the listbot told me
they weren't available.

I have a couple of questions, hopefully they aren't asked to much.

One: On my installation I didn't get vim.  And I'm not finding it out on the
net anywhere.  What can I do about this?
I found a downloadable binary of gvim but when I try to run it it complains
about the file libICE.dll not being in the path.

Two:  How is the xfree project different from mainstream cygwin?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank
