In the installer, if I select Current I get the new cygwin but the old gcc, while if I select Experimental, it keeps the new gcc but doesn't offer me the new cygwin. At the moment I'm sticking with the old cygwin, because the gcc upgrade is more important to me than the cygwin upgrade. Is there some way I'm missing to select both, or do I just have to accept that I can't upgrade anything else until the official gcc 4.5 is ready? -- Ross Smith -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
