Add 'setup.ini' to the end and you get a 302 redirect to http://download.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/ftp/cygwin/setup.ini cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
