Hi, this little upgrade tip seems to be working great (it's not finished yet) ... however, i have no idea what it is doing. i would like to simply upgrade all of the packages i currently have installed. not install anything new, not uninstall anything i already have. i couldn't find any info on command line switches to setup. setup -h,--help, /? did not show anything. further, i couldn't find any documentation on the cygwin site about this. can anyone point me in the right direction, as i find this easier than fiddling with the setup GUI. is there any way to "grap" single packages this way ? what i would really love is a dpkg/apt-get system for cygwin ... i guess i'll have to wait for that one. :) -- 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/
