I want to terminate this discussion, originating from my concern for=20
consistency among distribution providers.

Originally I reported on a successful installation of basic Cygwin, i.e.=20
without X, followed by a failing attempt to install X.  Of course I have=20
been aware all the way that X did not come with the basic installation,=20
and I have no idea of how to install X on top of it without using=20
setup.exe by Cygwin.  Still I am asked to specify how I obtained the=20
packages for X, because they are not part of the basic installation.

I see no reason to spend more time on this, the experience of which is=20
like being part of an absurd comedy, to say it mildly.  I feel confident=20
that I can overcome the technical issues if I use the time on them instead.

End of discussion.

J=F8rgen
