Cygwin ?

Post by snoop »

Do I absolutly need to run cygwin on win2003 for cacti? I followed the install guide recomending the full install of cygwin. After installing the full package I found that this was over 2GB of space and I would like to conserve it a bit more than that. If I need cygwin which it appears that I do after deleting the cygwin dir and the no more graphing is being recorded, what are the bare bones components that need to be installed? Is there a better version to use on windows Xcygwin or something?


Many Thanks!

Snoop,

You only need the minimal install of Cygwin which is pretty small.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Thanks Larry, I appologize if I seem to be a bit dumb with this... Just very new to any *NIX type applications.
