I need to instruct an IT department to install Cygwin. I am afraid that if I just tell them to run the installer, they will get an unstable version. I am afraid other new users will be in the same boat. I am fine for myself: I am on Cygwin 3.07, it is a tank, and I can stay the= re for the rest of the year if necessary. That is not the issue. Would it make sense for Disable_pcon (spelling?) to be the default, until t= he new pty code settles down? --- Karl Botts, kdbotts@usa.net -- 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
