This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions, then switch to the Exp view before looking for 'coreutils' in the 'Base' category. This is a test release, so you have to explicitly request the update. Or, you could just get coreutils 5.2.1 by running the same setup program, without doing any explicit requests (it's in the Base package, so you should get it automatically if you don't change anything in the package chooser panel of the setup program). - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
