Problem with Installation: No option to select DOS lines endings, defaults to UNIX.
I am having a problem with an installation of Cygwin. When I run setup.exe, I do not get an option for choosing line endings. So, I want to select DOS ine endings but that option is never available during setup, so it ends up being UNIX line endings. How do I force that option during installation? Please help. -- 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

Not possible. The bin/textmode option in setup has been removed because setup doesn't create the fstab file. It's done using a script. If you want to use textmode mounts, add them to the fstab file after installation using an editor.

Do you have any further help as to how I would achieve that? I am new to cygwin and *Nix, so any basic help is appreciated. How to I set it up that all text file will have DOS line endings?

You will also need to add to /etc/fstab the output of running "mount -m" where you replace the instances of "binary" in the fourth column of output with "text". -Jeremy -- 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
