Cygwin is huge, but I reckon a "Windows migration CD" wouldn't be bad. Heck, I think they could have put mozilla on the MNF Cs, which would have reduced problems with some versions of IE not working. But, I think then we would need most of what is on the GNU-Win CD. I would want: -mingw+msys (cygwin without cygwin, ie native gcc on windows) -DevC++ -pwdump (samba util for dumping Windows domain sam in smbpasswd format) -winmclient (client for mserver) -mozilla -OpenOffice.org -sanetwain -audacity -gimp -gkrellm -putty -wincvs -tortoise cvs -wxwindows -CUPS win32 postscript driver In short we would fill one CD very quickly. Maybe Mandrakesoft should consider shipping something like GnuWin2 or whatever it's called in Pro-Suite?
