When downloading Cygwin, I had chosen "download without installing". This installed only the base package. Later, I followed the instructions at http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html#setup-cygwin-x-installing to install X server. I think this double installation created some problem. I just deleted cygwin and reinstalled it. This time I chose, the "Install from internet" option. Surprisingly this time, it showed xorg-server in the "select packages" dialog (the previous time, it did not). So, I just followed the instructions exactly as given in http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html#setup-cygwin-x-installing and also installed nedit from the packages. After running "xinit nedit" from the Cygwin terminal, it runs fine!.

Also, like your sentence, below, you put the category of your "PS-no top posting" with the category first, then you respond to the category by putting in what you are talking about. If a list is a conversational list where people think everyone reads everything, then maybe chronological might be better, but even many forums will show you the newer messages first. If they show you the oldest ones 1st, they are usually least relevant. For me, when I look at my lilst of messages, the most recent ones are near the top. Otherwise to see recent messages, I would need to scroll over 700 messages "down" to get to the most current messages. But if you put the oldest stuff at the top I would see questions about the 2.11.2-0.1 Cygwin TEST RELEASE. and your post about "Stumbled upon relative name resolution across symlinks", --- of note, you are also using ".." in a path, which can be confusting. But each link in a path is resolved in its source directory as the symbolic links are relative to where they start from. Does that help or make sense, or should I have read through the next 700 messages to see if you found a solution to you situation. Another thing to realize is ln -s src dest acts like copy. The 1st path should be the one that already exists with the destination getting the new link that would point to the pre-existing copy. Of course I also see the 'how to get pulse audio to work' from Nov 02, where I asked: Does it work for anyone? On Win7SP1. attached is cygcheck.out thanks in-advance!... but never got an answer.... -linda But it could be very confusing if people always started at the beginning of their email and read downwards. I had a support call with NCSoft's generic support folks for Blade and Soul (they couldn't solve the problem as they only were hired to do generic support -- not specifically for the game). They always want your reply and the newest stuff at the top...but if you want to read the entire 90-page log of the support case (over ~3 weeks), you could, but only remembering that older stuff is below newer stuff. I think you'll find that true for many professionals (lawyers do it, as well as health professionals (like doctors)....etc. That's why it is very surprising to see computer people treat 'email' as a "log" instead of like a chat w/history... Anyway...I'm not so sure I see the benefit of starting to read sometime in the past -- especially in the case of a 90 page support interaction. Would you really want to read 90 pages before you started participating in a discussion? Technical lists are not fiction books that are read for fun, they are usually where people look to see if something applies by reading the first paragraph or two -- which wouldn't be the most recent stuff, by far.

While I don't know of any forum that does threading, most email programs do, so replies to a request for help SHOULD be listed directly below it in most email programs. (certainly true in (most of) the ones I use.) > But it could be very confusing if people always started at the > beginning of their email and read downwards. Another part of the etiquette of bottom posting lists is to trim what you quote down to what you are answering/replying to. [Normally I would use ... or "snip" but here I think I've kept enough for context.] What "I" find really annoying is those lists where people with post a reply, without quoting ANY of the original question - so you get messages like "Click the third link on that page." with no context. That's possibly OK if you see it displayed right under the first message, but quite meaningless otherwise. I agree that I don't want to scroll through pages of previously read stuff to see the new content, but if it's not relevant to the "current" message, why not trim it out? You can manage long discussions by either having the entire history in one file/message, or by keeping the entire list of messages and keeping each message short and to the current point. In the first case, it may be easier to top-post new content, but then you have no reason to keep old messages, as long as nothing does get trimmed. I think difficulties arise when mixing the two approaches, which is probably inevitable with email lists which get archived and even more so for cases like usenet, where you can either post or email. I generally consider it as "local custom." Some lists/forums want one, some want the other. As long as it's made clear, why not follow the requested style? (Another way to look at is as religion, which suggests there is little point trying to change people's minds.)

I expect top posting for corporate stuff, with explicit CC lists, mainly on one corporate server, where nobody reads past the first sentence anyway, or trimming the old cruft, so you had better repeat everything you need there, similar to leaving voice mail messages. I expect bottom posting and trimming for subscriber or volunteer groups like this, to respect the time and effort of those doing the work, and reduce the bandwidth distributed across the internet (or Usenet if gatewayed via NNTP - I still have *LOW* limits on downloaded message size from fighting early spam blasts there). Neither group of recipients is going to bother with previous message content, (unless they are a recent CC added to a long thread, and sometimes not then). -- Take care.

While most people do use web browsers to read email these days, you'd think they'd prefer seeing what they are used to on the web -- newer stuff and headlines at top. Sometimes things just take a long time to change -- but the original reasons for doing something 1 way may change over time -- thus behaviors can change over time. I try to bring it up occasionally, but never to correct someone who has done it the other way -- but only in answer to those who have gone out of their way to try to 'correct' the other person. I generally don't care how people post their messages that much, BUT, I do care more about constantly seeing some message constantly repeatedly sent which bothers me alot more than top bottom side or backwards posting. To Jack, before -- if those people send me soemthing with everything trimmed -- I have a threaded reader and can look back if I need to remind myself.

I saw the sense of trimming netiquette when I had to do that, in the days of offline mail and news readers, when you connected, uploaded your new content, downloaded others new content, then disconnected, or some protocols did so on your behalf, possibly overnight. > If they don't trim, top posting would be more efficient for your line usage.
