I ran = the latest version 2.852 (64 bit). the options are install / re-install / un-install / default my understanding is as follows; choosing "install" creates a new installation of the selected cygwin compon= ents choosing "re-install" uninstalls the selected cygwin components, then creat= es a new installation choosing "un-install" uninstalls the selected cygwin components choosing "default" updates the selected cygwin components so if I wish to update my local installation to the latest release, I would= choose "default", as per the following screen capture; http://www.cpm86.com/default.jpg What is the function of the "keep" / "cur" / "exp" radio buttons? Please confirm my understanding of these four options.
