hey, no, i think the faq's pretty good. however, i read it a while
ago before i got comfortable with the cygwin tools. thus i don't go
back and re-read it regularly. perhaps i should. and maybe a
sub-section like you're proposing could be helpful.
the link i used to get to delorie.com was on the "cygwin home page"
on the redhat site. it was the "search" link under the mailing list
archives. it seemed to me that i was using the recommended search
engine to scan the cygwin mailing list archives. the delorie search
engine really wasn't up to the task yesterday; i'll see if it's feeling
more peppy today. nope, so far it's still choking on the searches.
is it possible that the "search" link could be switched to a more
effective search engine? actually, the "archives" link to the
cygwin.com version of the archives provides for searches also... i'm
finding the cygwin.com search engine to be quite zippy. maybe it would
be a good idea to drop the "search" link to delorie.com on the cygwin
home page altogether? just a thought... i will stop torturing myself
by trying to search at delorie.
thanks,
fred.
