msys naming

Hi,

I never manage to install mingw properly at the first time and this time I
realized there was some
package named foo-msys-.....lzma and some other mingw.
I suppose msys package needs to be decompressed in C:\msys\1.0 while other
needs to be in C:\msys\1.0\mingw,
am I right ? I tried to use mingw installer but what a surprise it doesn't
work.
Downloading package one by one is a real pain ...
And why did you choose to put license into separate package ?
I am also wondering if it's theroretically possible to install msys and
mingw in the same location, wouldn't be easier
for package naming ? No more msys or mingw thing.
I have also installed flex and after half an hour of a binutils
compilation I get a popup telling that regexp dll is missing,
how am I supposed to know that there is a dependency ? Maybe you will
answer that it's written inside a readme but do you really believe I will
read
every readme for all the package you made.
Could you please make a iso with all your package instead of using
sourceforge download ? Or I don't know use bitorrent ?
