@subsection What's the difference between packages in @samp{latest} and @samp{contrib}?
-Good question! That very issue has been debated on the
-@samp{cygwin-apps} mailing list. Check the list archives if you want to
-know more. Start at @file{http://cygwin.com/lists.html}.

-But it really doesn't matter, and there is no distinction as far as
-@code{setup.exe} is concerned. By default, it will install all packages
-from both @code{latest} and @code{contrib} directories.
+There is no difference as far as @code{setup.exe} is concerned, and you
+should not worry about this either. The distinction is more historical
+than practical.
@subsection My Windows logon name has a space in it, will this cause problems?
