Hi,

I spent some time browsing the web and the archives of this mailing
list but did not find a step by step tutorial/howto explaining how to
set-up an XDM session on Windows to log on a remote Unix/Linux
workstation (as an X terminal does).

What is the minimal set of packages to select in the "setup.exe"
installer ? Will the "setup.exe" handle package dependencies so that
I can clear all selected packages and select the only Xfree packages ?
What is the exact list of required packages for this only usage of
Cygwin environment ?

Is there a web site explaining how to set the Cygwin configuration
files ?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Best Regards,

-Denis
