Have mercy upon me please.OK I'll come clean. This was so long ago (18 mos)
that I don't really remember what exactly happened. But I do know that it
didn't work. I have the old Cygwin CD package which I bought from Cygwin.
I took the one I downloaded and installed from Redhat and removed it. I am
not going to go into what I had to do to remove it it was too long ago. I
then installed the one from the CD. That one didn't work either. I then
installed the CD Cygwin in Windows 98 and it worked about 98% wasn't too
bad.
So to be as staright as I can, Cygwin in Windows 2000 Professional failed 18
mos ago. Over that time I believed it failed BSOD. But as I said I may be
wrong about that.
Although I asked for what I thought would be an easy enough request, I find
that I must have hit a nerve. Could be what I asked for or how I asked for
it. The former I know what's necessary now the later sorry.
