yes you are right ... but half page later the same
document says
You must select the xorg-x11-base package, which is
located in the X11 category.
---->>>>The xorg-x11-base package is a helper package
that automatically selects a working set of packages
for you that will allow Cygwin/X to work. <<<<<-----
You may also want to ensure that the inetutils and
openssh packages are selected if you wish to use
telnet and ssh to connect to remote machines.
