What is ASH? Is it the same as BASH? I opened a bash shell on my win95
install of cygwin and tried to find ash and couldn't find it anywhere?

>To update your installation, CREATE AN EMPTY DIRECTORY, cd to it, and

>Europe:

>Once you've downloaded setup, type:
>
> setup ash
>
>Answer the questions as you did when you first installed Cygwin,
>specifying whatever mirror site you used to download the package.
>
>This procedure will only update the ash package. If you have not
>previously used the new setup.exe program to install a version of
>Cygwin, you probably will need to install the entire Cygwin package for
>correct operation.
>
>Once the setup is complete you may remove this newly created directory.
>It will contain the setup.exe program, a setup log file, and the
>ash-20000627 tar file. None of these are needed for further operation
>of
>ash but you can keep them around if you are interested in reinstalling
>everything later. The setup.log file contains diagnostics that will
>be helpful if your installation failed for some reason.
>
>Note that, if you do not use the mirror site above, the ash files may
>take a while to propagate to other mirror sites.

>If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
>mailing list at: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com . I would appreciate
>if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
>This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
