RE: how to upgrade cygwin?
Just run the setup program again, it will download any upgrades needed; that is the default. You can also choose new programs! In which case setup will do the upgrade and the new installations. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allen H.

By default it will upgrade anything that you had installed before, if any new versions are available (which I can assure you, there are). If you want to see what setup will upgrade, click "View" until it reads "Partial" next to it. The chooser window will list the packages it will upgrade for you. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
