Re: FW: Cygwin start menu / mirrors‏‏

2014-10-21 Thread t s
webpage; http://cygwinports.org/
 
says to issue the command;cygstart -- /path/to/setup-x86.exe -K 
http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg
 
so I issued; cygstart -- e:/setup-x86_64.exe -K 
http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg
 
at first this command worked. Now it doesn't. It throws up an error message 
unable to get setup.ini from http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg;

Looks like it's a temporary glitch, as it works fine for me when I tried
it just now.

Two other things to note though:

1. cygwinports.org is not cygwin.com so asking questions about it on
   cygwin.com mailing lists is really off-topic.  cygwinports.org has its
   own mailing list if you have further questions about the packages and
   services it provides.

2. This list is reserved for Cygwin-X-specific issues.  So if you have
   questions in the future related to Cygwin-X, this is the right mailing
   list.  Otherwise, if it's a more general Cygwin issue, the main list
   (cygwin at cygwin dot com) is the right place.

A: Yes.
 Q: Are you sure?
 A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
 Q: Why is top posting annoying in email?
