Thanks for helping David, Brian. Your answers are almost entirely correct. David, here's the current status: (1) autoconf now uses the same wrapper that is shipped by Mandr* & Red Hat (and others, I think) instead of my crappy home grown one. So you've got a wrapper package ('autoconf'), an

Hi, I know this is a dumb question but I have made genuine efforts to understand what I'm doing wrong and I'm still missing the point. Sorry for wasting your time. I've installed cygwin under WXP in a domain. When I first started bash I got a warning about groups but it said that I could safely
