Not at all. I guess I wasn't clear. I run [quite a small subset of the complete] Cygwin from D:\consoleX. I maintain the source at D:\cyg by checking it against a mirror regularly - when out of date I wget what's needed including setup.ini and setup.ini.sig. Then update from Local Directory using setup. I'm still nervy of upversioning again to 2.882 from 2.880 but noting your observant "time machine" comment and the dearth of "Me Too" on the mailing list I'll give it another crack. If it works I'll forget it once didn't; if it doesn't work I'll try to dig deeper.
