Re: Fw: help win winxp install


this was a good 6 months ago, and i cant get acess to my log books (im
at school, and my log books were kept by the client). IMIR what is the
more pressing issue is that _we_ should provide a script that
_nightly_ (im serious) gets the latest files.

an _example_ of how the mirrors have been different is that I have
found different version numbers for all of the mirrors that host
X/Cygwin (a big part of what i am doing) so i cant be shure what
version is going to be distributed!

am i clear at this point?

Details? What a novel concept.

I don't think the concept will catch on since making statements like
"they have...been completely different" is much easier than clearly
elucidating the actual differences.
