I located base-files-4.0-6.tar.bz2 and my copy in $HOME is indeed not modified. So, your assertion that customization was preventing the update seems wrong (the date of my .bash_profile is consistent with my original Cygwin installation date). I question whether the skel files are automatically copied to the home directory at any other time than at home directory creation. Are they? Cheers, Peter PS. I have modified ~/.bashrc and ~/.inputrc, if that is relevant. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
