We recommend you run setup from the cygwin home page. It's not big. Setup can detect when a new version is available, and you'd want that new version *before* you run setup, not after. Plus, it's not trivial to coordinate downloading and installing a new version of the program you're currently running, then restarting it and remembering your choices (assuming the questions haven't changed). -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
