I'm old enough to have become very tired of messages from ill-informed (i.e., people who haven't followed the entire thread) lecturing messages. >And can one even recover this entire thread from the archive? Yes. Here is what is happening: People reported a problem with cygwin that I cannot duplicate. People have donated money towards getting me a system. I am going to purchase a system with this money. I asked if anyone had put together a system for $400 since, at that point this was all I had available, implying that this has to be a system which demonstrated the problem. In asking for a system whose price was $400, I was not asking for a $603 system. I wasn't looking to bring someone up to speed on previous discussions. I wasn't asking for help debugging the problem. I wasn't asking for musings that the problem was due to cygwin's release policy. I wasn't looking for advice on how to reorganize my home setup to avoid purchasing a new system. I wasn't looking for a new version of the script which shows the problem. Anyone is welcome to send this kind of thing to the mailing list. I just have no interest in responding to it. That's what I meant by "Bye, bye." At this point, the only thing I require from the cygwin community is $$$ donated towards the purchase of a new system. I'm now very close to having enough money to buy a system based on one of the previously mentioned configurations. When I finally get a system and can duplicate the problem, I hope that I will be able to fix it. At that point, I'll be asking for people to test the fix.
