Folks:
I've been using Cygwin for many years (~7-8yrs) and I like it very
much. Can't do without it.
I'm running a "Sacred" version B20. No one touches it! I have total
control. As a result, I normally do NOT like upgrades. They always
cause me more work to fix problems created by others, determine what has
change, and fix problems caused by "setup". I fact I recently blew away
two working copies of B20 because of setup. I need to know some full
pathnames to retreive distributions without going thru setup. Yes,
setup on a "Sacred", running system is "evil". No more.
Under my "release" directory, there are several packages sub-directories
whci contains files that failed to get installed. Is there a easy way
to "safely" complete the install of these packages. I manually
installed the man_conf file so at least it knew how to treat all of my
.bz2 manual pages. I know there are still missing man pages that need
to be installed.
Summary:
1. Need pathnames to distribution files to avoid "setup".
2. Easy waay to complete installation of missing components:

Sounds like a lot!
