But I think you're missing a point here yourself. No one is "ignoring" him. If no one has answered, then it's quite possible no one has an answer for him. I don't think you have to attribute some negative connotation to lack of discussion for any topic on this list. It's just the way things go sometimes. But if having someone else on this list responding directly to his previous inquiries would help everybody feel better about things, I can fulfill that role. * Rebase isn't automatically invoked by 'setup.exe' because of all of the following: 1. Nobody has contributed a patch to add it. 2. Rebasing everybody's installation on the off-chance that they installed packages that would require this operation seems inefficient. 3. The goal is to resolve this on a per-package basis so that running rebaseall isn't necessary for anyone. * Beyond what's already been said on the X issue, I can't add anything. I don't run Cygwin-X on Vista. Actually, I don't really ever run Vista. But since the question revolves around X, I would suggest inquiring on the Cygwin-X list if this hasn't already been tried. Of course, if Vinod tries this, he can expect the same guarantee of a solution that he gets with the main list. If that's not sufficient, there's always the option to buy Red Hat support and then ask them for help. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
