I don't think anyone here would really recommend the piecemeal updating of packages, though nothing prevents you from doing so. Obviously, the more out-of-date your installation is, the more likely you may see some issues as a result. If you're going to do this off-line, the easiest thing to do is the brute-force thing - mirror a mirror, grab the current setup*.exe, take both to the machine which you want to update, point setup*.exe at the mirrored packages, pick the ones you want to update and let it do its thing. Success guaranteed.* * YMMV ;-) -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
