Best regards, and thanks in advance for any help.
From what I've seen of the responses so far, you've received some good advice about things to try to alleviate some (all?) of your difficulties. I'm sure others could suggest more but it may be more beneficial to the list and to any continued discussion if you were to get specific with the issues you see. In particular, it would be worthwhile knowing whether suggestions made so far address your issues. FWIW, you'll find *lots* of discussion about 'setup.exe', how it works, how it doesn't, what's being done to improve it, and even ideas of it's replacement on the cygwin-apps list. This is actually the list of preference for these types of discussions and bug reports, though it is not off-topic for the cygwin list. Suffice it to say, there are known issues with 'setup.exe'. Some are working to alleviate these issues and the pace recently has picked up. Most of what's been discussed in this thread so far is not new, as you may notice if you review the cygwin-apps archives. It's a question of volunteers to drive a new initiative or accelerate the transformation of the existing utility. Feel free to join in! :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
