I'm all against including it into the setup step. I used rebase exactly one time and then to test a not-yet-official version of MySQL server which was linked against openssl. I'll try this with openssl and its fixed non default base and the latest perl which uses auto-image-base to see if this resolves my MySQL problem. Other than this I never needed to use rebase so I don't think it should be a default step when setting up Cygwin. Finally we'll reach a point where we run out of addresses anyway. -- 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/
