-@chapter Installation Instructions
-@section Contents
-
-Unlike previous net releases such as B20.1 and earlier, there is no
-monolithic "full" or "usertools" installation.  Rather, you can pick and
-choose the packages you wish to install, and update them individually.
-
-The following packages are available with the current release, in their
-respective directories:
-
-@table @samp
-
-@item latest
-bison common diff flex gperf inetutils make opengl shellutils texinfo
-ash byacc crypt expect gawk grep less man patch tar textutils bash bzip2
-cygwin fileutils gcc groff login sed tcltk time binutils clear dejagnu
-findutils gdb gzip m4 mt termcap vim
-
-@item contrib
-cvs gdbm jbigkit jpeg libpng tiff zlib
-
-@end table
-
-Full source code is available for all packages and tools.
-
-There is one recommended way to install Cygwin, which is to use the GUI
-installer @code{setup.exe}.  There are some variations on how you go
-about that.
-
-Do it any other way, and you're on your own!  That said, keep in mind
-that the GUI installer is a "work in progress", so there might be a few
-difficulties, especially if you are behind a firewall or have other
-specific requirements.  If something doesn't work right for you, and
-it's not covered here or elsewhere, then by all means report it to the
-mailing list.
-
-@section Installation using the @code{setup.exe} program
-
-@strong{IMPORTANT: First read the README file in the @code{latest}
-directory at any ftp mirror.  DO THIS NOW!  Information in the README
-file is not repeated here.  You can find a mirror site near you from
-@file{http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.html}.}
-
-The @code{setup.exe} program is the recommended way to install Cygwin,
-but it is still a work in progress.  Expect features and functionality
-to change.  For this reason, it is a good idea to note the version and
-build time reported by @code{setup.exe} when you run it.  This will help
-diagnose problems, should you have any.  Check the cygwin mailing list
-for the latest news about @code{setup.exe}.
-
-@subsection Why not install in C:\?
-
-The @code{setup.exe} program will prompt you for a "root" directory.
-The default is 'C:\cygwin', but you can change it.  You are urged not to
-choose something like 'C:\' (the root directory on the system drive) for
-your Cygwin root.  If you do, then critical Cygwin system directories
-like 'etc', 'lib' and 'bin' could easily be corrupted by other (non-Cygwin)
-applications or packages that use \etc, \lib or \bin.  Perhaps there is
-no conflict now, but who knows what you might install in the future?
-It's also just good common sense to segregate your Cygwin "filesystems"
-from the rest of your Windows system disk.  (In the past, there had been
-genuine bugs that would cause problems for people who installed in C:\,
-but we believe those are gone now.)
-
-@subsection Can I use the new setup to update a B18, B19, B20, B20.1 or CD-ROM (1.0) installation of Cygwin?
-
-No, you must start from scratch with the new setup.  The overall
-structure has changed so much that it would be silly to try to
-accomodate old installations of Cygwin.  You'll probably be much better
-off with a whole new installation anyway.  You may backup or rename your
-old installation first, or just install the new one somewhere else.  Be
-sure to make note of your current mount table, because this will be
-overwritten during the new setup.
-
-Once you've installed the latest net release, the new setup will update
-just the individual packages that need it.
-
-@subsection The README says I should turn off anti-virus software.  Isn't that dangerous?
-
-Only Network Associates (formerly McAfee) products have been reported to
-"hang" when extracting Cygwin tar archives.  Other products should not
-cause problems, if you prefer to keep them running.
-
-Otherwise, you can download @code{setup.exe} and scan it.  Then turn off
-the anti-virus software, then run setup to download and extract all the
-tar files.  Then re-activate your anti-virus software and scan
-everything in C:\cygwin (or wherever you chose to install).  This should
-be safe.  (As long as nobody substitutes a malicious setup.exe ...)
-
-@subsection What packages should I download?
-
-Just get everything, if you have room for it.  But if you must be
-selective:
-
-@table @samp
-
-@item cygwin
-This is the minimum core, consisting of the cygwin1.dll and a few
-commands (like @code{mount}).  Not much else, and no shell!
-
-@item bash
-This is the default interactive command shell for cygwin.  If you don't
-install @samp{bash}, then the "Cygwin Bash Shell" shortcut that setup
-creates for you won't actually do anything.
-
-@item ash
-This is often forgotten because it's not obvious that @samp{ash}
-contains @code{/bin/sh}, which is essential for running scripts, (and
-@code{make} and ...).
-
-@end table
-
-If you want to build programs, of course you'll need @samp{gcc}, but
-you'll also need @samp{binutils}, probably @samp{make} and
-@samp{fileutils}, and possibly lots more.  (Again, consider just getting
-everything!)
-
-@subsection What if setup fails?
-
-If you are downloading from the internet, setup will fail if it cannot
-download the list of mirrors at
-@file{http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.html}.  It could be that
-the network is too busy.  Similarly for an ftp download site that isn't
-working.  Try another mirror, or try again later.
-
-If setup refuses to download a package that you know needs to be
-upgraded, try deleting that package's entry from /etc/setup.  If you are
-reacting quickly to an announcement on the mailing list, it could be
-that the mirror you are using doesn't have the latest copy yet.  Try
-another mirror, or try again tomorrow.
-
-@subsection What's the difference between packages in @samp{latest} and @samp{contrib}?
-
-Good question!  That very issue is sometimes debated on the
-@samp{cygwin-apps} mailing list.  Check the list archives if you want to
-know more.
-
-@subsection How do I uninstall Cygwin?
-
-Setup has no automatic uninstall facility.  Just delete everything
-manually:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item Cygwin shortcuts on the Desktop and Start Menu
-
-@item The registry tree @samp{Software\Cygnus Solutions} under
-@code{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE} and/or @code{HKEY_CURRENT_USER}.
-
-@item Anything under the Cygwin root folder, @samp{C:\cygwin} by
-default.
-
-@item Anything created by setup in its temporary working directory.
-
-@end itemize
-
-It's up to you to deal with other changes you made to your system, such
-as installing the inetd service, altering system paths, etc.  Setup
-would not have done any of these things for you.
