I installed CYGWIN_NT-5.1 on Windows XP. It mostly works, but there are a few anomalies that bother me.
1. CYGWIN_NT-5.0, which I have installed on my Win 2000 system, displays the CWD in the title bar. 5.1 does not. I prefer the 5.0 behavior. 2. Problem with cp utility: bgold $ cp foo /tmp cp: Error copying file foo to /tmp: Access is denied. bgold$ cp foo /tmp/foo cp: Error copying file foo to /tmp/foo: The system cannot find the path specified. But vi foo, :w/tmp/foo works 3. Dragging the pointer in 5.0 automatically marks text for copying. In 5.1 (or maybe in XP) this doesn't work and you have to explicitly select Edit->Mark before each mark operation. If this is a cygwin problem vs. an XP problem, I would like to see a fix. 4. When I bring up a new cygwin window, .bashrc doesn't get run. I have to type ". .bashrc". I have run into this problem on other systems when I had "installed" cygwin by copying from a CD image of the cygwin directory from my home system (no net access). But in *this* case I had gone through the install process and taken all the defaults, so I would expect it to run my .bashrc. -- 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/
