The only way that I know of to do this is to extract in one place and copy everything to a new location using Windows commands. DJ has suggested that I could make a cygwin-1.1.5 available as an experimental download so that setup.exe could download it. I will probably do that once I'm sure that things are slightly more stable. I'm still completely unable to duplicate the 100% CPU problem or the bash exiting problem, so this will be slow going. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
