I notice from the information on the Redhat website and in the FAQ that
there is no Cygwin CD.  I am interested in using Cygwin; but I don't
believe I require the Cygwin license for my applications.  I have
previously used Cygwin by downloading it; but I encountered some
difficulties with the setup program, especially for downloading source
code.  (It crashed when I chose the source code option for some packages.)
Actually, one reason that I am interested in using Cygwin is in order to
run free integrity checking software like Tripwire and ViperDB that works
under Unix.  (There is a Tripwire for Windows; but it isn't free.)  There
are security issues with downloading Cygwin before installing ViperDB or
similar software under Cygwin and that is why I am interested in obtaining
Cygwin by CD.  (My current workaround is just to download Cygwin using the
fastest connection available and then burn a CD although that doesn't
solve the problem with downloading source code),
