Dear Cygwin users and developers
Slightly off topic as most you seem on the developing level, while I am
more interested in the user's end. About two weeks ago I downloaded the
latest Cygwin releases with X support and everything. I was delighted
as everything work so well. However, I got put off by the amount of
disk space Cygwin and its in-laws took up (approximately 1Gb).
I only intend to use Cygwin for the following:
* bash shell (simple scripts for file manupulation)
* perl scripts (various files handling)
* X-fig
* Image Magick (mainly interested in the command line in conjunction
with perl scripts)
* gcc
What is the minimum installation I can do to get the previous running on
my Win2000 box? (I have Exceed running, so I probably do not need
another X-server)
Many thanks,
Gert
