WS-XP-4960:/home/rthompso> type -path startx
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx

start setup.exe
next
install from internet
next
set your root directory etc on this dialog
next
set your local pkg directory
next
direct connection ( or which ever you use that works for you)
next
select a mirror
next
click on View in upper right hand corner before doing anything else
scroll down list and select those applications/libraries that you want
   if it says Keep, you already have it
   if it says Skip, then you do not have it
   if it has a version number, then you have it but not the latest
version
the applications/packages are listed in alphabetical order

Saarah,

You have *got* to use better subjects in your messages... ;-)

First off, to correct a misconception, setup.exe is used for both the
initial install and the subsequent upgrades, so running it again will
not "reinstall" cygwin unless you request it (by marking some packages
"Reinstall").

Secondly, any queries relating to XFree should be directed to the
<cygwin-xfree AT cygwin DOT com> list.  Please repost your query there.
