If you just want terminal access to your XP box from OS X, install the 'openssh' package through 'setup.exe', read the README, configure, and go! ;-) You'll need a SSH client for OS X if it doesn't have one by default (sorry, don't know whether it does or not). But with this you can open a terminal window on OS X, log into your XP machine via your SSH client, and access the command line through your Cygwin shell. No X connection is required here. If you want to run Cygwin-X programs from OS X though, you'll need to launch Cygwin's X-Server. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
