Minimal KDE+Cygwin for Windows?

[Holger Schroeder]

Hi,

you only need any X-Server under windows, and you can then use that one to 
connect to a remote unix server, which holds the KDE installation. xfree on 
cygwin is only one way to do it, you could also look into using vnc or even 
better look at www.nomachine.com and install their NX server anc NX client.
