From d51faaaee7439eeac0e67756c25f648e736cd358 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guy Harris Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2014 11:38:44 -0700 Subject: Point to the Cygwin mirrors page. If you choose to install from the Intertubes, you probably want to choose a nearby mirror site, rather than downloading from halfway across the world; the list of download sites in setup*.exe's UI gives no indication of where the mirror sites are, so you could end up picking one to which you have a slow Internet path. Tell the user about the list of mirror sites on the Cygwin Web site, as that list *does* give geographical locations.
