If you are going to actually use *setup* to update things later, then, yes. Again, as I keep saying, over and over and over, this isn't brain surgery. You could create the entries in /etc/setup with a shell script, too. I'm trying to dispell the myth that setup is doing anything magical that couldn't be done with normal utilities. The things that setup buys you are a gui front-end, dependency checking, and automatic downloading. If you just need to repeatedly install a standard bunch of packages, you don't need to do any of that. cgf -- Please do not send me personal email with cygwin questions.
