Hello! First of all I want to congratulate all you people that have made possible CYGWIN+XFREE. I think that the whole is already a mature, wonderful product. In particular the new multiwindow feature of XWin is really cool. I have a petition to make: Have a little bit of mercy with us poor guys that have slow internet connections! For example at home I have a connection that most of the time is below 1kb/s, with such a speed to download XFree86-fnts (16.3Mb) takes at least 5 hours (but it can take much more). During such a long time the chances of losing a dialup connection are very high. What can you do? a) avoid making huge packets (say more than 8-10 Mb). I am sure that most huge packets, that are composed of many directories, can be splitted in some sensible way; or b) implement some way of downloading the packets with ftp, so one can use wget or similar programs capable of partial downloading; or c) make the cygwin setup program capable of partial downloading.
