What was difficult about it? I really want to know. > If it's just *slow*, well, yes, that's a know problem. :-/ No, i did not have any difficulty with the time machine. Simply because i did not download from it as i was not aware whether something like this existed, and time was short. There was another mail where somebody indicated they had difficulty with time machine iirc. If there are no Problems with time machine i see no need to provide another copy of something. Unless you'd need a mirror. > Also, did you pull the source packages? No. Was too much clicking involved with setup.exe and i thought i'd never compile these old sources anyway. Now i know more. The great thing called open source software is not complete if without source. It's just usable then. best regards, and thanks for maintaining a history of Cygwin.
