That=E2=80=99s actually a great illustration of the point I tried to make. You just asked setup.exe to install a whole bunch of software you do not ac= tually need, so when it starts asking you questions about what you want don= e with this software, you are lost, because you don=E2=80=99t even know wha= t the software *is*, much less how to use it. So don=E2=80=99t do that. :) -- 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
