Roland,
Ooos... upon actually looking at the list of files I realized that you
converted the standard XFree86 tar-gzip files into tar-bz2 files, which
isn't really what we are trying to do here. Chris was asking that the
XFree86 Cygwin-Setup package files be turned into tar-bz2 files; these
packages can be used with Cygwin's Setup to install Cygwin/XFree86 and they
are altogether different than the standard XFree86 tar-gzip files.
Hope that clears things up,
Harold
