This should be fixed in the latest snapshot at http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ . FYI, you shouldn't rename your whole c:\cygwin directory. Doing that effectively eliminates everything that you've downloaded. You noticed that there was no bash after you did that but there is also no awk, sed, grep, gcc, etc. The cygwin-inst tar ball is not a replacement for the whole cygwin distribution. You really only need to grab the DLL to test this. You don't need all of cygwin-inst. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
