Thank you. I installed git-snapshot-20051025 on Linux PC to checkout linux from git and executed following command # rsync://ftp.linux-mips.org/git and I get following message -bash: rsync://ftp.linux-mips.org/git: No such file or directory. I tried the following command also # git clone rsync://ftp.linux-mips.org/git/linux.git linux.git and get following message ------------------------------------ defaulting to local storage area warning: templates not found /home/sathesh/share/git-core/templates/ rsync: failed to connect to ftp.linux-mips.org: Connection timed out rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(83) ---------------------------------------- Can you suggest me what could be the problem?. Am I missed anything?. Thanks in advance.

Gitweb is for browsing repositories only, not for checking out. If you actually want to checkout from git I suggest you start by installing Linux; there apparently is a Cygwin port but I expect it to be rather slow and you may hit more interesting problems with Cygwin.
