Yeah, I thought about that and even have Charles Wilsons script (if I am giving credit to the wrong person please all forgive me) that allows you to change over the services you use from 1.5 to 1.7 and back again but I still have to dig around and fix config files and copy symlinks (mine) and other little fixed as I find them. I was thinking more of an in place upgrade but with the ability to roll back so the zip file and registry backup is the most favorable provided I can be sure all gets zipped - I have had problems in the past with moving with zip files or just plain copies and broken links or files that were not copied or zipped. Thanks all for the thoughts - looking forward to updating (sortof) :-) bk -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
