[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: texinfo-4.8-1

I've made a new version of 'texinfo' available for installation. This is just a refresh of the latest version available from ftp.gnu.org. I've noticed that it fixes a problem in generating info files for gdb. YMMV. For a brief description of this package, and listing of the files it contains, s

Well, I only need a solution for my special case *now*, so it's okay for me if mounts are going to be stored anywhere else in the future. My problem is: I've set "Default Text File Format" to "Unix" during setup. Now I just want to change my Cygwin installation as if I had specified "DOS" instead.

FYI - I use rsync with checksums to synchronise from my laptop to work. It syncs to a HP binary of rsync at the other end. I found I had to use checksums because the time stamping was unreliable, transfering more than it needed to. I have found it to be very reliable since switching to checksum
