>> i have just updated to 1.7.1 an run in trouble. =C2=A0During the previou=
s installations there was a switch which sets the used file format Dos/Unix=
. This switch did not only disappear also the former uses file format (DOS)=
 was set to Unix underhand . The result is that a lot of scripts did not wo=
rk anymore because they produce =C2=A0a bunch of lines " bash: $'\r': comma=
nd not found" instead of the expected output. =C2=A0I'm not able to filter =
all the scripts and files to remove the DOS line separator so I have to set=
 the file format correctly.

Also, there's this at the top of http://www.cygwin.com:

"Please note that the update from Cygwin 1.5.x to Cygwin 1.7.x might
require some manual changes afterwards. Most notably the mount point
storage has been moved out of the registry into files. User mount
points are NOT copied into the new user-specific /etc/fstab.d/$USER
file. Rather, every user has to call the /bin/copy-user-registry-fstab
shell script once after the update."
