I have found some serious issues with Cygwin 1.5 that I want to test against in the 1.7 beta, before I commit to abandoning 1.5.
Is it possible to install Cygwin 1.7 on the same PC/filesystem as Cygwin 1.5, yet maintain absolute independence between the two versions? I don't want the 1.7 install to change anything in my existing 1.5 install, as I need my 1.5 functional for other purposes. Is it a simple matter of installing to a different path (e.g. c:\cygwin1.7), or will the 1.7 install overwrite anything (e.g. environment variables, registry entries) that 1.5 might require? -- David. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
