	Ah...cool!  Maybe will have to try an early edition assuming I can
find a semi-fast mirror that carries the test versions.

	Ah...textmode -- just sounds dangerous for a mount.

	THAT's where they install Db is....I wondered about that.  Surprised
they didn't port over RPM, working with RH as closely as they were.

	Thanks...that's pretty much what I needed to know...didn't know if
I'd messed up my installation at some point...I have some really weird problems
on my system, at times (not just cygwin) -- I try to install as many packages
on Win as I would on my linux system.  Seems like there's a lot more chaos and
incompatibilities in the closed-source MS world than in linux...but I guess
that's a side effect of every vendor writing their own install system and
no single public 'spec' 'install' type system to reference or improve on and
a large vacuum of public, published specifications and information 
that everyone tries to work around.
