Wasn't an issue to now, not to mention, it's not installed in cygwin folders,
rather, in their own places. It's just easier for me to keep track of all
tools I need to migrate when reinstalling system.

Surprized... It show nothing, although the setup.exe states that lynx 2.8.5-4
is installed.
And only lynx that could be installed is a Cygwin one, i'm not using any other
unix tools packages.
I think it's the time to reinstall it all... yet again...
I just did it when 1.7 came out, but seems it wasn't enough.
