When I had to rebase, I had to track down and stop all cygwin services as well. I went to Windows Task Manager, added the image path name and sorted by it to find what all from cygwin was still running, and shut them down. In my case, cron, sshd, and tftp deamons were running. Once *everything* from cygwin was shut down, running dash inside the CMD shell, and then /bin/rebaseall inside the dash shell worked for me. -- Erik -- 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
