Hope that helps, and good luck!Thanks, HamishCheers, found this later, but good to have a mention in the archive :) Could we link to the time machine from cygwin.org? It's not very easy to find as it is.Really? Google "Cygwin Time Machine" and it's the very first link. :) But, if you want to suggest something on the Cygwin list, be my guest.Well yes, but if you don't know that's what it's called...Ah... That is a valid point if one dives into Cygwin for the first time... Perhaps I could have choosen a more descriptive name? Maybe "Cygwin Archive"? But "Cygwin Archive" is a bit to broad and one could argue that the cygwin.com site is the (rightfully) current "archive" of Cygwin. Wouldn't want to detract from that. Well, people also search, more commonly, for "The last version of Cygwin to support XP" and that takes you to a Stackoverflow article which also talks about the Cygwin Time Machine. So, eventually, all roads lead to Rome...err, I mean the "Time Machine" :)
Fair point(s). I guess I'm bad at searching for things, wouldn't be the first time :)
