I did--and searched for like problems, etc.
The installation had been working fine, after the update sone bins stopped
working with no error messages.
I removed the entire installtion and started anew. Everything works now,
but the command line response gives extra characters sometime. Perhaps the
latest bash update has something to do with that.
I appreciate the work that has gone into cygwin, but the installer/updater
is not as friendly as it could be. The problem I have is the computer I use
cygwin on is not connected to the internet so I have to copy the
installation source off cd.
Thanks.
