Chris,
I didn't realize that there is an "Install Cygwin Now" link on the main
Cygwin page; I am updating the document to reflect this.
I have to look into that Samba problem more; it is probably just a Samba
misconfig on my side, but, as I am using a nearly default Samba config, I
assume that a lot of people will be struck with this. I want to look into
the problem a little more before I start badgering the Cygwin people or the
Samba people...
Thanks for the input,
Harold L Hunt II

It does look good, but I'd like to suggest that instructions be changed
to just use the "Install Cygwin Now" link on the main cygwin web page
rather than finding a mirror.
The setup.exe that is downloaded is relatively small so I'm not
worried about swamping the sources.redhat.com net connection.
After downloading setup.exe from the main page mirrors should then
be used.
I'd also like to suggest that Harold work with DJ Delorie to work
out this problem with downloading to a samba drive.
