There's a problem, Brian. I updated my local mirror for a test run. When I start setup-1.7, it seems to find the already existing c:/cygwin installation. Even though I choose "C:/cygwin-2" as installation path, the new setup-2.ini content is compared against the already existing installation. The result is that setup-1.7 offers to install only the single changed package: cygwin itself. Why is setup using the information from the existing installation even if I choose to install into another directory? Is it because the mount points in the registry are looked at? That's not correct anymore, given that the registry mount points are not used for the new installation anyway. Is it possible to change setup so that it ignores the registry mount points? And it must nort write new ones either, btw... Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
