I already am aware that after the upgrade I should run /bin/copy-user-registry-fstab presumably in my first console shell. Under My Computer -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables should the variable server in Cygwin server be changed to no argument (unless there is a good reason to put in one?) Cygwin before the upgrade? That is, is it OK to have nothing as the variable? Under Administrative Services (Local) I now have cygrunsrv.exe used in: Cron daemon C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe Automatic CYGWIN cygserver C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe Automatic CYGWIN sshd C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe Manual Should these be changed or turned off during the upgrade? That is, should these be disabled and then after the upgrade run /usr/bin/cygserver-config as if I were starting cygserver for the first time? Are there any other common settings I should change before upgrading? I did look at the docs, but did not notice anything else. Thanks.
