Boxes had been working well in 32 bit Cygwin, I recently upgraded to a WIndows 10 computer and decided to try 64 bit Cygwin as a fresh install on the new machine. "boxes" hasn't worked since the 32 to 64 bit change. -- 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
