Based on information in this list, it appears that Red Hat (who bought
Cygnus about a year ago) has no interest in publishing a CD containing
cygwin.  However, several folks on this list have offered to burn CD's
with the latest stuff and mail it for a small fee --- Earnie Boyd was
one such person, I believe. See http://earniesystems.safeshopper.com/ 
(although the store itself is "temporarily closed for repairs")
