It could also have been understood as "show current, replacing stable versions in the list by experimental versions". Another way of approach: I want to install everything current and have the experimental versions instead of the stable versions. So it would be a nice-to-have if setup.exe had an option like "do not install stable version if there is an experimental version for it". Currently, I *must* install the stable version first, then install the exp. version _over_ the stable one. Two steps instead of (ideally) one. Hope I was not too confusing ... -Andreas -- 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/
