(of course i could be remembering something really old :) But yeah, it does set it in the cygwin.bat file (there is no .bat file on the CD version). Must be a bad week for cygnoids on the list - first dj and now me :) At any rate, if people are interested in turning MAKE_MODE to win32 by default let me or dj know... if i get enough people that are really irritated by the default being unix we can probably change it. -eric > > Eric, > > You're referring to the CD version installer, correct?
