The Yes, the installation goes only have the way. I also found at least two bugs affecting Cygwin, one similar to a zlib bug. In case of zlib I tried to report 2 bugs upstream. It seems they have no bugtracker and the mailing list is a closed society. At that point I gave up. To justify, why you want to report a bug, is too much. > Actually, bzip2 and zlib are very poor candidates.

Well, I use dozends of packages, that simply work. But a car with three wheels still can't drive. I need to acquire the skills to fix the tiny rest.
