BTW failure consistent on both FAT32 and exFAT filesystems; but the rename

I get the subtle distinctions between FAT (all versions) and NTFS platforms;
but, all the same, the rename command surely worked on *FAT* in the past - I

along with .ini and .exe, re-label conveniently and obviously, and upload to
mirrors.
Could this not still be done? Sure, continuing usage of XP carries its own
risks, but that's a quite different issue.

Problem r
no idea what space a full install requires: fwiw my installation
including some extras under /home/ and
/usr/local/ takes 5G on a hard drive and the identical setup just 1.2G on a
stick. Even including TeX, it's tiny.

GPL Ghostscript 9.15: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps.
Can anybody please point me to an example gs_init.ps file,
and where it should be located?
Thank you.
Fergus
I realise the fundamental problem might reside outside Ghostscript and outside
Cygwin,
but for the moment I am after a fix.

More than a minute for 90 files is just extraordinary.
Anybody else having a similar experience?

(By contrast
find dirname -type f | xargs md5sum
still works just fine. 6000 files in less than a second.)

I have set
/bin/mount -c "/"
in ~/.bashrc with many subsequent easements in use.
In /usr/share/fonts/microsoft/ there are unfortunately
multiple links referring to files in
/cygdrive/c/Windows/Fonts/; all broken.
Similarly in /etc/, several links pointing to files in
The latest setup.ini refers to new updates under release/iso-codes but the
files and the entire subdirectory including [orev] files is missing on at least
3 mirrors that I tried.

Probably a temporary glitch, same on three mirrors, probably all will be fine
at the next update. But it's the first time this has happened AFAIK. Just

Is there a package that includes /lib/libtermcap.a?
I've tried Search Packages with nil response so I'm not hopeful but reckoned it

I always install / update Cygwin from a x86/release/ directory located on my
hard drive, and kept up to date.
The new setup-x86.exe requires setup.ini.sig located in x86/ as well as
setup.ini.
Easy to manage, but is this additional requirement intentional?
