If you can't connect to the internet, just use the full installer
instead. If you're behind a proxy, setting the 'http_proxy' environment
variable in the shell will help (but likely not if the proxy requires
authentication). Otherwise the netinstall is the better option in the
long run.

It expects it in your home directory, which you enter with 'cd ~', just
do a 'vi .bashrc' there, the file will probably not exist. But you
don't really need to do this if you edit the Makefile to reflect your
local installation:
>>>>>>
# Name of your emacs binary
EMACS = /c/Users/Matt/emacs-22.3/bin/emacs
# Where local software is found
prefix = /c/Users/Matt/emacs-22.3/
# Where local lisp files go.
lispdir = $(prefix)/site-lisp/org
# Where info files go.
infodir = $(prefix)/info
<<<<<<
The only thing between you and a proper 'make install' is now a working
install-info program and maybe one or two others IIRC that don't come
with MSysGit, but MSys has them. MSysGit modified some DLL from MSys,
so you can't have both versions in the same path... but they're
compatible enough so that you can just copy all missing executables from
a temporary MSys installation over to the MSYSGit bin/ directory. This
will also provide a few other programs that are really useful with
Emacs, so I'd do that even when Git wasn't needed. You need to
customize the exec-path to include the bin/ directory from MSysGit at a
very early position for this to work, since some Windows programs with
the same name might exist.
Achim.
