I'm working on a patch for the second problem[*]. At the moment, you just have to remember to avoid the first by being sure all cygwin apps and services are shut down when you run setup, but I was thinking about looking at that one too. cheers, DaveK [*] - http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg00291.html, but it still needs a little work -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
