I got it to work. Here is what I did for the archives: I ran setup.exe twice, first to install what I wanted to have, then again to upgrade cygwin-base to 1.5.25-8. Then I ran c:\cygwin\ash.exe, and ran /bin/rebaseall in that. When fiddling with setup.exe I noticed that if the 'Cur' radio button is selected, you can select the 1.5.25-8 version, but as soon as you do something else, the selection flips back to 1.5.25-7! On the other hand, if you select 'Exp', all sorts of necessary stuff gets flipped to 'Skip'. -- Fredrik Stax\"ang | rot13: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is all you need to know about vi: ESC : q !
