Ok, if I go to :
(closest_cygwin_ftp_mirror_site)/pub/sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/latest/src-by-top-dir/
do I have to download the whole stuff, or just a few of them ?
If I download the whole thing, would it mean that I upgrade my 20.1 distro to 20.1.1 or 20.2 or
21.0 or ... ?

Another question, what about the initial value of "cygdrive prefix" in the registry database :
why isn't it set to empty by default ? (sorry if I ask too much, or if this is not the kind of
question to ask to cygnus developers :)

Thanks again for the replies.
