no need to install xfree86

[Glenn A. Carlson]

I installed the package, and XFree86 starts.  I believe I had selected the 
default install options.  It appears that XFree86-xserv is not installed by 
default.

Best results starting XFree86 are obtained from running startxwin.bat. 
Running startx directly from within Cygwin results in three terminal 
sessions at startup.  Closing first terminal window terminates XFree86 
session.  On running startxwin.bat, only one terminal session starts on 
startup and closing that session does not terminate XFree86.

(Mr. Lee, it appears that XFree86-fnts 75 dpi, misc, and util fonts was 
already installed.)

Thanks for the help.

Glenn
