I'm sorry, but this is not true: I only want to give comunity a "base package" of something that I already have. At least on my opinion, as an administrator, has very sense to have a "bash windows" in a "nerd-msi" installable form. But if you don't agree, don't mind: I can upload my next BGINFO4X release without creating any "AdminCygwin release". There is no problem, but I thought that it could be useful to others. > We sometimes get people here who think they have to fork Cygwin because > they understand some subset of something on their own and don't or can't > grok the big picture well enough to try to make changes within the > release.

I'm sorry again, but If I understand you (not 100% sure), I don't want to be recognized.
