Use setup. Don't assume it doesn't work, it does work fine. Check the version available shown in setup, it its not (as of today) 4.1.16 then the _mirror_ you are using is stale (which would explain why you didn't get the latest version of Cygwin). -- René Berber -- 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
