Cygwin Installation


Hi, I have recently installed cygwin and X on my PC. 
I have installed the full cygwin instalation and the
minimal X install.  Documentation suggests the cygwin
should take about 175 MB and I am assuming the X
instalation to add some more.  I can afford about 250
MB, as this is on a laptop with a small HD.  my
instalation of cygwin and X has taken up about 700 MB.
 This is not good (I have no more space on my HD), as
all I want X for is to run some X applications on a
unix machine from my office where I only have a PC.
Can you confirm that this is reasonable, or can you
suggest a minimal installation of cygwin.  I did find
some minimal installation info on the web, but when I
did that, X did not install properly, because of
missing things.
Thanks,
Chris.

Chris.
