You can install Mintty by selecting the mintty package in Cygwin's setup.exe. Just run setup.exe again and select the mintty package when you get to the package selection panel without changing any of the other settings that are already there on other panels. Once installed, you will find a shortcut for starting a Cygwin session within Mintty in your start menu. I'm pretty sure it will be in the Cygwin group. -Jeremy -- 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
