I guess I can understand not wanting to add anything new to base right now, but why are 'diff', 'sed', 'which' in base right now? Because there was a (arbitrary) list of packages for a "minimal" install: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-02/msg01111.html (BTW, the list includes 'less' but that was left out for some reason.) Here's a link to much later discussion of the issue, too: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-11/msg00009.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
