I found Cygwin a few days ago, and it never seems to follow all the way thru the setup process. It gets to the point where one can choose a download site, but the list is not populated. I'm not sure if this is on Cygwin's side, or if something on my end is stopping me from seeing the list.
I get the feeling it's Cygwin.
My next option is to run a Live Version of Open BSD or some Linux distro, but I'm trying to avoid that route if I can.
