Re: How do I get an old version of cygwin?

What I would try is: 1. Rename the cygwin on my machine. 2. Save and then erase the cygwin registry settings. 3. Copy their whole cygwin installation and registry settings to your machine. 4. Use setup to download the source packages you need that are not available in their distribut

It seems like there is endless confusions with cygwin mount's because the name of the command is the same as the Unix mount command, and some of the command line options are similar. Has anyone given serious consideration to renaming the command to something like, cygmount?

I think about a year ago there was a patch added to the cygwin core to allow you to use 'umask' to change apparent permissions on a FAT32 partition. The idea was you could then do something like: umask 077; ssh foo.bar.com I do not know if this code is still in the cygwin libraries, and if it wi

problem is that you are using Win9x, &/or FAT32 you are in luck. The remaining question is if this works for network mounts with Win9x Bill On Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:36:31 -0400, Doctor Bill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think about a year ago there was

You misunderstand the GPL. The GPL does not grant you a right to the source code, it creates a responsibility for them to give your the source code. I know it sounds like the same thing, but it isn't. If you had a legal right to the source code, you could then sue them for a copy. But since ins

In regards to adding code to support coLinux, I don't see why that would be neccessary. coLinux doesn't need to talk to cygwin. Except for older versions, coLinux is not built on cygwin. If someone is really interested, as part of the coLinux tools I wrote set of functions for querying cygwin pa
