Re: Problem with Installation: No option to select DOS lines endings, defaults to UNIX.
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?

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. -- 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

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
