Re: Updating from 2.1.0-1 to 2.5.0-1

I don't know about if that upgrade is safe or not (somebody else will tell you) but I recommend backuping your c/cygwin64 directory so that you can go back if anything goes wrong :) LLoyd -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Updating from 2.1.0-1 to 2.5.0-1

I haven't updated Cygwin in quite a while. I currently have 2.1.0-1 (32-bit) and am wondering if there are any known issues in upgrading through that many versions. Are there any preparatory steps I should perform to reduce the likelihood of problems during the install or post-install process?
