Thank you, thank you, thank you. Stick with setup.exe! There are probably tens of thousands of little scripts written that does something like: wget -c http://cygwin.com/setup.exe && ./setup.exe Changing the name will force all of them to revise the scripts---for no apparent gain! > The notion that changing > the name to something else will make users understand how to use > setup.exe is not one that I adhere to. Whatever you change the name to, there will be people complaining. And remember, the users of Cygwin are those who want to use things like tr(1), cat(1), awk(1), gcc(1), or even perl(1). Surely they understand things like the file systems, directory structures, and the naming of executables. -- Weiqi Gao (高为奇) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/
