Changed, please - or at least setup should run some sort of sanity check on the files it finds before trying to parse them. I got caught with something similar recently - I had renamed an old setup.ini at the top level of my local dir to setup.ini.sav (so I could later diff with the new one), but when installing setup used the setup.ini.sav file instead of the setup.ini it had downloaded to the mirror subdirectory. -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
