Slight complication with using a shell script that wipes out cygwin files: the shell /is/ a cygwin file. > Is there an install log > hidden somewhere with a list of files installed? Yep. It's in /etc/setup/installed.db. Here's a shell script to generate a dos batch file to remove all your cygwin files. #!/bin/bash cut -f1 -d' ' < /etc/setup/installed.db | grep -v INSTALLED.DB \ | xargs cygcheck -l | xargs cygpath -w | sed -e 's/^/del /g' \ > remove-all-cyg-files.bat This doesn't take care of the left-over directories. Running the list through dirname sort uniq xargs cygpath and sed 's/^/rd /g' >another-batch-file.bat is left as an exercise for the reader. cheers, DaveK -- 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/
