It's my experience that this is not really necessary. setup.ini contains timestamp and version information. When setup.exe has been updated, the version on the local system informs the user that a newer version of setup.exe is available. (I would guess that if one is updating using the automated, command line options one will not be so informed. Of course, that may not be a problem since many of the improvements are in the UI.) - Barry -- 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/
