My son and I have been looking BrickOS but one sticking point is that we
have a slow connection at home which makes getting large packages hard.
In such cases, I just download the files at work and burn the files into
CD-RW and bring them home. Is there any place that gives the precise
list of files I need to get BrickOS up on Win XP? [Basically, any method
that requires running a setup that downloads files, as Cygwin
recommends, is bad for large downloads.]
Second question is, is there any hope of getting BrickOS to run using
MSYS? [Msys is a fork of Cygwin that aims to produce a minimal system
that will execute configure and make scripts to run in Windows. It has
ports of Perl, m4 etc, but of course, no fork, permissions (may be in
Win 2000/XP Pro?, certainly not in XP Home) etc.]
Thanks in advance.

It is the man, not the method, that solves the problem.

| (...) You can run Cygwin setup in a "Download from internet" mode, then take the files home, and run it in "Install from local directory" mode. (...) 2 steps: Compiling the cross-binutils and cross-gcc under MSYS, and then (possibly) making changes (...) (21 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
