But you don=E2=80=99t actually *want* Avahi, so its error message is confus= ing and annoying, because you aren=E2=80=99t going to actually do anything = about it. This is why you don=E2=80=99t go telling Cygwin to install *everything*. Y= ou don=E2=80=99t want everything. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
