It doesn't actually include any installable components. Looking at the patches, the "mirror.lst" points to: http://takeoffgw.sourceforge.net/R0/ -- which doesn't exist, and ftp://localhost/takeoffgw/ I think "pier11" neglected to test his new brainchild on a different computer... The fun part is, he forked the cygwin-1.7 version of setup.exe. I have a hunch that our latest setup.exe does a lot of NTSEC things that might not actually play very well with cygwin-1.3.3/MSYS. In any case, I think this is more a concern for the MinGW/MSYS fellas: "Accompanying files (setup.hint) contain reference to original binary packages on MinGW site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/" In otherwords, if he ever actually uploads the setup.ini, it'll point to the mingw project's tarballs (for MinGW gcc, MSYS components, etc). 'Course, they don't ptovide any md5sum signatures, so I kinda wonder what this new setup.exe fork will think about that... -- Chuck
