More or less like it is done in Debian (my favourite Linux distribution) I recently wondered where my X11 start scripts went and found out that I've missing startup-scripts. It would be more convenient to have virtual package that installs "all" for that first time so you don't have to know what you're installing... It would be helpful. -- Jani Tiainen -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
