It is not 100% complete but I guess something like that should be in the FAQ under a heading of: Q) I see the way you're doing things and I don't agree. Certainly I know more about this then you do. Please prove me wrong, although I doubt that you can. Go ahead, I dare you? Then we can include descriptions of why there should be only one version of cygwin1.dll. Why /dev isn't the perfect replacement for /cygdrive. Why we don't default to c:\ as the root directory for cygwin. Why setup.exe doesn't install everything by default. Why setup.exe installs so much by default. and why -mno-cygwin really does produce binaries that have nothing to do with cygwin and, so, therefore, discussion of said binaries doesn't belong here. etc. 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/
