And, implied by Brian's response but is worthwhile to state explicitly, if you choose to override setup.exe's defaults here, it's assumed that you know what you're doing (i.e. what the consequences are, etc.) But then you're creating a custom installation of Cygwin and such installs are not supported by this list. That means you're on your own if you run into problems. I don't know if this situation applies to Lloyd's case or not. But I thought it prudent to tie up any perceived loophole here. :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
