Hi All...

I just did a fresh install of the current Cygwin 1.5 on a Vista Home Premium machine.

There were only a couple bumps. For OpenSSH, the ssh-host-config had to be run
multiple times...it first bailed out because of the protection of the passwd and group
files...next because of the protection of /var. I think it would be good to have it offer
to fix these. I can submit a patch if desired.

The second issue was with vim from a cmd console window. When I run vim, the
arrow keys work fine until I enter insert mode...then the arrow keys alter the test
and take me out of insert mode. I've not seen this before and some Googling didn't
help. Any thoughts?

Otherwise, it was a great experience. I used the latest setup.exe snapshot and it
worked very well.

Thanks to all,

...Karl
