Hi

I had an awful week fighting with install.  I kept getting the same error to 
do with being unable to find -user32.  Folowing the isnstuctions about not 
sending messages to the list about old problems I persevered.

The archive told me that this was to do with an incomplete download, so I 
tried and tried again from one of the Uk mirrors.  (for five days)

Eventually in desperation I tried a German mirror and reinstalled gcc. 
because the intelligent istall knows what files to install. The German mirror 
downloaded a half dozen files I didnt seem to have got from the Uk mirror.

Boy was I glad when I finally got hello world to compile and run.

I am a newby so I am by no means accusing any mirror of anything.  I just 
found the simple download and isntall of all damn difficult.

Regards

Frank
