After having installed a basic version of Cygwin I wanted to install X=20
and a few programs that depend on it.  Using one mirror I thought I was=20
doing well, but no program X were found.  Somehow I got the information=20
that xinit was needed, but that I could not obtain from the mirror. So I=20
found another and lo-and-behold: I got xinit, X, and Xemacs.

 From previous experience I knew that the X-server should be started=20
somehow, but I could not resist to call Xemacs right away.  And believe=20
it or not: it could not start, and complained about a missing=20
cygjpeg-62.dll.  So back to the provider to have a look for the package=20
libjpeg-62, identified by a lookup elsewhere.  But neither of the two=20
providers had such a package, but instead some different libjpeg-*.=20
After having downloaded all of these, the complaint came back again.

So: please give me some advice on where to find a provider of all=20
packages and preferably also some about how packages have been tested=20
for completeness.

Sincerely

J=C3=B8rgen Steensgaard
