Re: how to get an older version of cygwin


Hi,
     thanks for the response. I am currently running  1.5.7(0.109/3/2 on
XP. I also have 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) running on win 2000. in 1.3.2 if I do
cd c:/ the bash shows c:/ but if id  cd c:/ in 1.5.2 it shows me
/cygdrive/c. ANy idea how to fix this or  where I can download
1.3.2(0.39/3/2)

thanks
Arindam
