One stupid Question....

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi Gerad,

There are plans to build an all in one package (cygwin,xfree and kde). This
will happen some time after the KDE developer conference.

  In fact the kde installer is perfect ... you just have to run it like
another windows application...

  But not the cygwin one... (I mean at the moment..)
  It was much better some years ago... I don't know if it's because xp 's
shit !!
