Actually, I just copied the ones from the Factor install I had already.
I noticed that Doug's were binary identical.

Yes, I had problems getting the network install to run, too,
so I went to the mingw site and installed several packages
that I thought were needed into the same mingw/ directory.

I actually installed mingw in a separate directory alongside msys:
L:\Dev\MinGW
L:\Dev\MSYS
then created an etc/fstab file which mounts the mingw directory:
#Win32_Path Mount_Point
L:/Dev/MinGW /mingw
The other way looks simpler, though.

Yep, following Doug's instructions.

And now I have too !
Thanks for your help.

Anton.
