Hi gracious experts! Please don't flame me. I'm a mac user, but I used to use cygwin, back when I was a kid and didn't get to choose my operating system. Well, I have a 4 GB Flash drive coming in the mail (incredibly, it is the size of a half-smoked cigar), and I was wondering if I could justify my purchase by putting cygwin onto it so that I can use emacs and a latex processor on any desktop. I found the post describing how to put cygwin onto a flash drive (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01117.html), but this description requires a working installation on a windows machine.
Unfortunately, the desktops to which I have access are feeble, and I would not want to spend 55 hours downloading and getting everything to work there. Is there a way for me to acquire a working cygwin dist from here, from my speedy old powerbook G4?
