there is no such tab on my system, i guess its probably better to run from NTFS. > Can you remove "/etc/setup/installed.db" by hand and rename > "/etc/setup/installed.db.new" to it? It might fix the problem, at least > for one setup run... i did this, and setup now behaves better and remembers that it just installed the new stuff. looking at the current installed.db file, and the output of "cygcheck -c", many packages that i have installed are no longer listed(Perl, openssh, etc.). is this information lost forever? atleast some of it appears in a different format in the installed.db.old file. thanks again for the help Igor. --tim -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
