To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 5.0.8 June 18, 2001 Message-ID: From: PM AT nworks DOT dk Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2001 16:47:37 +0100 X-MIMETrack: Serialize by Router on Notessmtp/Nworksext(Release 5.0.4 |June 8, 2000) at 12/04/2001 04:52:07 PM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Yesterday I downloaded setup.exe (v. 2.125.2.10) and started downloading and then installing. I discovered first that vim (and hence vi) didn't work and later that ssh didn't work either (missing crypto DLL, I believe). Different solutions to both these problems were found in this mailing list, but I am not overly confident that these were the last problems to be found. Is there any other way to install than installing the latest-and-greatest? The latest-and-greatest is of course is a must-have if you need it, but if you don't it just throws in noise. Is it possible to install e.g. a six month old tagged snapshot, that is known to be missing some of the newest features, but is known to be stable all-in-all?
