Thanks for the update, glad I was not going crazy seeing what I was seeing. I managed to get things working just by copying the entire cygwin directory structure from a win2008 system to the R2 system, I was expecting stuff to not work because of library registration, but the basics seem to work(really all I need is stuff like rxvt, ssh client, vim, less and tail). nate -- 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
