Greetings. I'd appreciate it if the http://cygwin.com/ webmaster would make two fixes to the http://cygwin.com/problems.html page, at his/her earliest convenience:
1. Fix your author attribution for "smart questions" (i.e., the essay "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way") to credit _both_ of that essay's co-authors, instead of just Eric. 2. Append a prominent notice saying something like "Please do NOT send your Cygwin questions to Eric and Rick". For context: I'm co-author with Eric Raymond of the essay "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way', linked from Cygwin's documentation Web pages as it is from apparently many other projects' pages. We're delighted that it's been so popular, but we get a blizzard of personal help requests from people playing inadequate attention, such as the guy quoted below. (Even if I wanted to give this guy free-of-charge consulting, I haven't had much to do with MS-Windows since WfW 3.11 for Workgroups, so I guess he's out of luck until he asks someone appropriate. ;-> ) ----- Forwarded message from João Carlos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: João Carlos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 14:24:19 -0200 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 Subject: Cygwin It is possible to make the installation of Cyguin with CD-Room?
