Re: versions/compatibilities FAQ request

[David M Dennis <dmd@speakeasy.org>]

It broke out of the box on my Win 98 second edition desktop.

The sequence was to install cygwin, then to install mks toolkit.

All the file ownership cygwin had immediately went to mks, and it took
control of other functionality as well.  cygwin was broken and not until i
uninstalled mks toolkit did things return.  Nothing else was
installed/uninstalled in the interim, which only took about 3 hrs to give up on
mks toolkit, since the one I have license for is only the admin level and has no
compile tools.

I'd prove it over again but have grown rather fond of the cygwin install and
don't want to risk its breaking on this my only computer at present.  I might
inherit an NT box shortly, will try this sequence there.
