 B- Cygwin pre-requisite & code checkout
 ---------------------------------------
 
-Second you need to install Cygwin and configure it:
-- Get the installer at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
+You must have Cygwin installed. But wait! You CANNOT use the latest Cygwin 1.7.
+Instead you MUST use the "legacy Cygwin 1.5" that you can find at this page:
+
+  http://cygwin.org/win-9x.html
+
+Don't mind the page title, just grab setup-legacy.exe and it will works just fine
+under XP or Vista.
+
+  
+Now configure it:
 - When installing Cygwin, set Default Text File Type to Unix/binary, not DOS/text.
   This is really important, otherwise you will get errors when trying to
   checkout code using git.
