[mgp-users 01210] Re: Cygwin

Hi,

what would be really cool, is a self-consistent system. What I mean is
you bring your CD with magicpoint/cygwin-dll/Xserver etc (what else is
needed ?) so that it can be started from a Windows box without prior
installation.

Actually this is one main hindrance for me to use magicpoint exclusively
over powerpoint, as meeting organizers more and more ask you to provide
a CD and want you to use their PCs .. usually with Win98/2000/XP.

Any hints in that direction ?
(A bootable system like knoppix is *not* an alternative, as usually the
speaker before/after you will want his powerpoint, and having to reboot
is quite annoying).

Thanks for any tips,
Marc
