Another way of putting this >question: What does the work formerly done by "full.exe" or >"usertools.exe"? See the faq -- specifically http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC5 "There is one recommended way to install Cygwin, which is to use the GUI installer `setup.exe'. There are some variations on how you go about that. Do it any other way, and you're on your own!" < /quote> FWIW IMHO the 'new' method is VASTLY SUPERIOR ! Many Thanks to all that have helped make it !! Cheers Norman VIne -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
