We (Red Hat) used to have a CD-ROM. We no longer have a CD-ROM, even though it was profitable. There are other forces acting there, and we (the cygwin community) really can't coerce companies into shipping cd-roms. It's not hard to create a personal cygwin cd. Create an empty directory. Download setup to it. Run setup from that directory and do "download from internet". That directory can be burned directly to cdrom as-is. It's also not hard to create a cygwin cdrom and sell it. We let pretty much anyone mirror all the files, and it's easy to comply with the GNU GPL. Personally, though, I prefer ftp distribs because we can update things when it makes sense, rather than waiting until it's economically feasible. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
