Can anyone point me to any good information about "adding to" and upgrading a cygwin installation ?
The reason I ask is, whenever I try and use setup.exe it goes through the entire setup process from scratch. So, for example, if I want to simply add the vi editor, it comes up with all of the "defaults" selected, and I pick vi, and then setup proceeds to uninstall some of my stuff (which I had explicitly installed before, and install extra stuff, etc...). I can't imagine I'm doing this right, and figure I must be "setup.exe impaired" or something, so if anyone could give me a pointer on how to do this... Also, is there any easy way to essentially just "upgrade" all of your currently installed cygwin packages ? Something kind of like debians "apt-get upgrade" ? Finally, can you essentially just unzip a package at the base of the cygwin tree to install it ? Do the packages have "setup scripts" ? cheers, e -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
