Hi All, I am a newbie using nix. Just got nix install on my Window XP running cygwin. Everything seems to be fine until when I started to run nix-channel update and the following message occurs: ============================================================ $ nix-channel --update obtaining list of Nix archives at `http://nixos.org/releases/nixpkgs/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/MANIFEST.bz2'...

I appreciate any help to point me to the right direction. Thanks in advance. CJ
