It is >http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin To be precise, the text surrounding the link that you are referring to says: "For Cygwin licensing or commercial support, please visit the Red Hat Cygwin Product site." i.e., it is another site entirely from http://cygwin.com/ . The reference is for a *commercial* release of Cygwin that is provided by Red Hat. If you want to use the commercial software then you should be contacting Red Hat directly. OTOH, I sincerely doubt that you found any discussion of the cygwin net release install procedure at the Red Hat site so if you found words about installation at http://cygwin.com which you find confusing, you're going to, again, have to provide a reference so that we can either fix the words or clarify them for you. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
