Sent: 23 April 2004 11:52 From: Dave Korn ..snip.. There's a broad concensus among the spamfighting community that there isn't actually any email-address-snarfing software out there that actually does bother to attempt to demunge addresses. When non-munged addresses are out there to be spidered off the web and hoovered up from usenet by their tens of millions, why bother going to the effort of writing extra code, when the spammers can already get more addresses than they know what to do with anyway? I'd concur, until everyone mungs their address (I can't at work) there's little incentive for the spammers to bother. It's an interesting point to consider - why would a spammer _want_ to decode a munged email as this clearly shows that the addressee doesn't want spam and the only likely response is going to be Spamcop et al? Of course that pre-supposes any intelligence on the part of spammers which is even more debateable. Seriously, it really seems to be the case that it just doesn't happen to any significant extent. Yet, but I hope I'm wrong. Talk to n.a.n.a.e for more information. YJM! There my be people of tender years on this list who shouldn't be exposed to nanae, of course nanau is arguably worse.

Re: i want to re-download all packages... how?
Electa wrote: it selects only my installed packs, but not the other. i want all for my cygwin-CD! It would appear the easiest way to accomplish this is to select download from internet. Then when you get to the chooser screen you have two choices the first is to click the view tab until you get to full list and then select reinstall or install for each packages - this is sure to get them all. Second choise is on the category view first click on the rotate icon next to All Default until it say reinstall. This will now download all the packages you have installed as you said. Let these download, then run setup again and this time for the All default icon click until you get to install - this should select all packages you do not have installed and flag the once you have as keep. You can check these settings each time by rolling through the views to Full and see what is selected. Also on this pass though checked the skipped view because I still had 4 or 5 in that view so check them if there are any. Hope this helps. bk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

This assumes the OP wants to install everything too though, which isn't clear from the original post. He wanted it on a cd/rw... IMO that implies _not_ installing it. Here's an easier way, assuming you have cygwin already installed. I suppose this could be the basis of a temporary(!?) deactivation of an entire cygwin installation (maybe even swapping from one cygwin version to another!); here we go: $ echo /recyg.bat cd \$(cygpath -w /bin)\ $ mount -m /recyg.bat Note that if you have this; $ echo $CYGWIN ... check_case:strict ... then you might have to launch CMD.EXE (or COMMAND.COM) like this; $ CMD.EXE Microsoft Windows BLURB C:\Program\Cygwin\bin umount -A C:\Program\Cygwin\bin mount c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount) blah, blah run setup.exe, do whatever you like EXCEPT reinstall. For ease of restoration; do _NOT_ close the bash you have open. Note - *This* is why you shouldn't reinstall: you'll have bash+cygwin1.dll loaded, at least. Though, FWIW: Closing the bash session+rxvt/console isn't a problem; all you have to do is look up cygwin-install-path\recyg.bat and execute it. Given the above _NOT_ closed bash though; restoration is done thus: C:\Program\Cygwin\bin..\recyg a bunch of mount commands get executed C:\Program\Cygwin\binmount list of previous mounts c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount) blah, blah C:\Program\Cygwin\binexit $ ...your previous cygwin is back again. /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.
