The vmware image is an alternative to cygwin. Use whatever you like better. I simply recommend the vmware image because installation is easier as it comes preinstalled and usage is similar. In your case cygwin might be the better alternative but I can't tell. > So do you start cygwin with a program short cut or through a command > prompt window? It places a shortcut on your desktop (and somewhere in the start menu). Starting that will open a command prompt, but that's a cygwin window -- it simply looks like the windows command prompt. > Also I get a list of about 90 ftp sites to choose from which one do I > select? Does it matter, when I am installing cygwin. No, cygwin has a list of mirrors. Just choose one that's located near you to get faster downloads. At least thats how it's supposed to work. Note that you need to add the Rockbox server as package source manually for the cross compilers. But that is explained in the installation instructions. > Also if I install cygwin will any changes be made to my computer or any > settings changed? Sure there are changes, it installs something to your computer -- I don't get what you exactly want to know by this question. > I am using Microsoft outlook. If you tell me what setting to change I > will do that. I don't use outlook (used it a while ago at work, my experiences were horrifying and I can't remember what settings exactly I changed -- it was about everything). There don't seem to be much FAQ pages in english, please google yourself. Regardless, I never understood why someone wants to use a time book program for email.
