However, I don't want to use the box itself for viewing, but a Windows X Server (Cygwin with XFree86). Do I have to install the entire XFree system, or can I just install an X window manager and be done with it? I'm not sure how to get started. If I just wanted to use the FreeBSD box itself for display as well as running programs, this would be easy.
