Yes. When you're in setup and looking at the package list, click the button near the top-right to change views to an alphabetized list of all packages, and you should be able to find it.

I use Cygwin rsync within my Windows box and over Cygwin ssh to fetch backup tarballs from my FreeBSD box, and it works. It's not as fast as I think it should be, but I don't have the skills or time to figure out why so I just wait and it gets the job done eventually. > Alternatively use SFU which doesn't have the issues. I tried SFU a while back and seem to recall that it lacked one or more "killer apps" that I use, so I use Cygwin. I may whine about Cygwin from time to time, but it's still the best GNU/OSS toolkit for Windows. :-) David -- 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/
