Hello,
I am hoping that I'll get some helpful hints by posting this. I've been
running Cygwin under Win98SE for months now without the CYGWIN env
variable set in Windows at all. I have FAT and FAT32 partitions. My
mounts are all binmode. Now I am looking at setting CYGWIN thus:
SET CYGWIN=export
I think clever (or not so clever) examples of .bashrc or whatever are
off-topic for this list, unless it is something specifically relevant
to Cygwin.

I tried the new SETUP.EXE. The problem is it doesn't recognize my previous

A new release of setup.exe has been made. As usual it's

* Can download from multiple mirrors - use CTRL-Click or Shift-Click in

Hi all!
When I try "man read" or "man diff" I am told by Cygwin "No manual entry for

Was there a setup option with Cygwin I didn't include in order to get all

Is there a way for to download them?
Thanks!

I just tried this too. Same result. I have been chasing (without success) some

OK that's an inappropriate example.
Back to my original question. My cygwin is of version
1.3.10. The command dd failed because it does know
/dev/fd0.
$ dd conv=sync if=install/bin/redboot.bin of=/dev/fd0
dd: opening `/dev/fd0': No such file or directory
(instruction from Redboot User Guide)

I tried this #define (in the newlib bits directory - cygwin uses newlib
right?), reconfigured and recompiled gcc 3.1, but the same problem occurs -
segmentation fault on the simplest bit of code that uses cin or ifstream or
stringstream. ( cout etc. works fine by the way).

I meant that there was no need for "function" in both of the examples given
by the previous poster. Yes, of course "function" has more functionality
than "alias", but here, it's an overkill.

function l() { /bin/ls $@; }
