I've uploaded cpio-2.4.2 to cygwin/latest. Note that an `mt' is
part of cpio by default. Since this `mt' isn't fully functional
on NT and we already have an mt, I have removed it from this package.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com web page.  This downloads setup.exe
to your system.

Run setup and answer all of the questions.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
choose a mirror site for your download.  The 'sources.redhat.com' site
is badly overloaded.  The mirrors below have the latest version of
this package:

ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu/pub/cygwin/        (US)
ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/ (UK)
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus
(Germany)

Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version
of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again.
After this point it will only download what is needed.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin@cygwin.com .  I would appreciate if you
would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

Sorry, but this is definitely off topic for this mailing list.
Cygwin is a POSIX layer on top of Windows. This is not related
to Linux. Please ask your questions in a Linux related mailing
list.

Corinna

BTW: Your questions are answered in the installation guidelines
of both systems, Red Hat and SuSE Linux. Both take care of a
previous Windows installation on the same system.

As you have been told already, such inquiries are not particularly
welcome on this list.  If you are a newcomer, spare yourself the pain of
doing things the old ways required by NT, and use a normal
W98-FAT32/W2K-NTFS/linux scheme.  There are differences among the dual
boot installations of the various linux, and you certainly should ask
about those in the appropriate places.
