I don't know if the above is clear or not but what I was trying to say was that if anything else was using cygwin1.dll, you wouldn't be able to copy over it. You *have* to stop all running cygwin processes before replacing cygwin1.dll so, given that, there is no reason to reboot if you have successfully managed to copy over, e.g., c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll . cgf -- 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/
