The net does not have to be the means of distribution.

No.  There were specific optimizations that Cygnus did that are not
incorporated into the main gcc tree which is what Mumit distributes with some
modificications to get it to work for Cygwin/MinGW/UWIN/gcc-win32.

Yes.  There is a contributions directory that contains a lot of the code you
would usually download.

Yes. That would be possible, however, that would like be shooting oneself in
the foot.  The main purpose for the CD is to allow funds to be directed to the
Cygwin project so that more of Cygnus/Redhat overhead can be directed to
Cygwin.  If I could download the CD, there would be no incentive to purchase
it.  I suggest you spend the $99 US dollars and purchase the CD.

In that case, where can I get the gcc "which you can't get off the
net, and which includes optimizations Cygnus did for the Intel
Pentiums that you can't get in egcs."
(quoting DJ Delorie <dj@delorie.com>)
Surely it must be on the net..  Is the gcc port at
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Khan_
Mumit/gcc-2.95.2/
the same thing as on the CD?
I'd bet there's a lot of other things on the CD that aren't on pages
like http://cygutils.netpedia.net/
Is there a list of applications and their versions that are on the
CD somewhere?  I'd like to know what I may not have by collecting
all "the pieces that make up the CD" from the net..

Since the installer can't be distributed, could somebody just tar.gz
their copy after they install it and make it available on the Net?

As Chris Faylor already pointed out, it would surely be illegal for someone to
put the CD on the net for download.  However, you can download the pieces that
make up the CD from the net already.  Check out
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin for more details on where to find ported
applications.

FWIW, the installer that comes with the Cygwin CD is not open source,
so hopefully this is not available for download.

Cygwin CD v1.0 on the net?

[Philip (FireEgl)]

Where can I download the Cygwin CD v1.0?  Surely someone must have
it available on the net...
