actually I tried...couldn't figure out how. the instruction from rebaseall is quite confusing...
You missed some important bits:
[ping@ping-new-laptop ~]$ rebaseall rebaseall: only ash or dash processes are allowed during rebasing Exit all Cygwin processes and stop all Cygwin services.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ i.e. You can't start ash or dash from a Cygwin shell or terminal.
Execute ash (or dash) from Start/Run... or a cmd or command window.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Run ash from here _after_stopping_all_Cygwin_processes_and_services_.
Execute '/bin/rebaseall' from ash (or dash).
