This was so long ago (18 mos) that I don't really remember what exactly happened. But I do know that it didn't work. I have the old Cygwin CD package which I bought from Cygwin. I took the one I downloaded and installed from Redhat and removed it. I am not going to go into what I had to do to remove it it was too long ago. I then installed the one from the CD. That one didn't work either. I then installed the CD Cygwin in Windows 98 and it worked about 98% wasn't too bad. So to be as staright as I can, Cygwin in Windows 2000 Professional failed 18 mos ago. Over that time I believed it failed BSOD. But as I said I may be wrong about that. Although I asked for what I thought would be an easy enough request, I find that I must have hit a nerve. Could be what I asked for or how I asked for it. The former I know what's necessary now the later sorry. -- George Hester _________________________________ "George Hester" wrote in message news:a9r365$mj3$1 AT main DOT gmane DOT org... > I realize that at one time setup.exe might not have been all that it was > thought to be.
