If you do download some minimal set though and you have any trouble using Cygwin, the first thing you should do is download and install the rest of the packages (well, from latest anyway - you don't have to have those from contrib). Don't bother the list with questions about why things don't work until you're sure you have a complete and proper installation, since that's the first thing you'll be asked when you make a query to the list.;-) Larry Hall lhall@rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com 118 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
