Hello from Gregg C Levine I have a small problem. The fellow, who ported RPM to Cygwin, Mario Schmidt, his site is either down, as the subject line indicates, or has a problem, such that my ISP, can not find it. That being said, can you please contact me, regarding your port? I happen to need that

Bootp servers under Cygwin

2002-10-06 Thread Gregg C Levine
Hello from Gregg C Levine Has anyone gotten a bootp server to work under Cygwin? It seems I now need just such a service. I've downloaded the original code from UU Net's site. It is stored in the Usenet's archive of volumne 27. However, when I try to compile it here, it discovers that my header co

rsync hangs, but there is a fix

2002-10-06 Thread Gennady
As many of you on the list, I was suffering from systematic rsync hangs (v. 2.5.5-1) which are especially annoying if you make daily backups using rsync with cron -- orphaned rsyncs are accumulated over the days and you have to kill them manually. To my joy, I found out that the fix announced b

Yes, I want to set up a Cygwin installation on a CD-ROM. I can use my home machine for that, then put the CD into the laptop when I need some of the tools. I did a search on CD-ROM and got over 100 hits, mostly related to installation and not finding the drive as I recall. Do you remember a bet

Off the top of my head, no I don't recall a specific set of keywords that will help. However, last week's discussion can be found simply by searching for "removable". The initiating message is here: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg00025.html This discusses removable media in g
