Hi Everyone,

I got tired waiting for it so put together `das 
blinkenlights'' - a cygwin distro. The aim being a 
fully functional cygwin install with the minimum of 
fuss.

It includes full.exe from Cygnus, a customized
.bashrc & a cygnus.bat replacement. Some ports from 
Andy Piper, vim 5.3, rgrep, the cygwin-b20.1 dll, and 
an installer script called cygwin-bootstrap (read it 
before running it ;-)

Attached are the cygwin-bootstrap script, .bashrc &
cygnus.bat files.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Regards,
- varun

# ``das blinkenlights'' is a cygwin distro. The aim is
to have
# a fully functional cygwin install with the minimum
of fuss.
# It includes full.exe from Cygnus, customizable
.bashrc & a
# cygnus.bat replacement. Some ports from Andy Piper,
vim 5.3,
# rgrep, the cygwin-b20.1 dll, and an installer script
called
# cygwin-bootstrap (read it before running it ;-)

# Contact varshar AT yahoo DOT com for any suggestions, bugs
etc.

# Preparation:
#
# 1. plan to keep / & ~ on the same drive, and do not
install full.exe
#    under a directory with spaces in its name e.g.
``Program Files''
# 2. assuming / & ~ are to be on the e: drive, set the
follg environment
#    variables from the Control Panel
#    2.1 CYGWIN_HOME_DRIVE = e:
#    2.2 CYGWIN = title strip_title binmode glob tty
# 3. delete all the cygwin-related ``Cygnus
Solutions'' Registry entries
# 4. with this version of das-blinkenlights, the
full.exe should be 
#    installed directly below CYGWIN_HOME_DRIVE. this
limitation will go
#    away real soon now

# Base:
# 1. unzip das-blinkenlights.0.0.1.zip into e.g.
d:\temp
# 2. run d:\temp\full.exe
# 3. start the bash shell(ignore any warnings)
# 4. cd to d:\temp & run this script e.g. $ bash
./cygwin-bootstrap
rm -f /.bash_history
