regarding the subject line: 1) download http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst (I used a browser - command line utilities for this abound, too: cURL, libWWW's comline, etc.) 2) perl -ne "print `ping $1` if m|://([^/]+).*North Am|" mirrors.lst (there are probably gawkish and shellish ways to do this, but I lean towards perl for one-liners lately. Perhaps my crude solution will flush out more polished ones.) regarding the rest, I dunno, I never tried that. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
