Oh, no, it uses its own doc and app root, it's just like running an application. I've installed it a few times and it's totally benign. I would be _really_ surprised if it did anything to your machine, because cygwin just doesn't need to mess with the system that much. It probably doesn't even install any DLLs. best, _alex |

I was just kidding, there's nothing to be wary of. It really an easy install that can be removed easily if you don't want it there - with nothing changed in your system.

Hi Peter, > >try cygwin, it is a quite good UNIX env running in Win32 box... > I'm scared of installing cygwin in case it mucks up my computer. Has > anyone on the list had any problems?? With cygwin? Not really, the system itself works quite fine here (NT). But it does not work properly with WinCVS. Winvcs launches cmd.exe for executing the ssh command. And so you need the ssh.exe file for win. The one for cygwin won't work 'caus it requires posix style paths, homedire etc, that are only available with cygwin/bash. So you have to have the ssh.exe cvs.exe etc for win seperately. I dont like that. If you can find a way entirely replacing cmd.exe with the cygwin bashloginshellstuff it might work. I'm not sure how to safely replace cmd.exe with the bash stuff. A few years ago it was possible to replace this with a shell called 4NT, 4OS2 4DOS etc. So replacing it with cygwin should be possible.

Hi Alex, > but what about _not_ using wincvs at all with cygwin, just using > command-line cvs co -P pserver:... blah Well that's the best compromise In my optinion. Under win as well as with linux the best is command line and Emacs. > but yeah, I'm definitely voting for "or should I just get a linux box?" :) Harr harr, well that's the very best you can do :-) Andi |

Dont be such a wimp Peter, the worst that'll happen is you'll learn something. Seriously though, its easy and if you mess up its easy to fix. I've installed it several times, and its hasn't done anything to my machine.

Have you thought about installing a web front to the CVS? Chora, the new one from Horde.org looks very nice - they are now using it on cvs.php.net and very good it is too. Cheers!

it's already there: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/binarycloud/r2/ > Have you thought about installing a web front to the CVS? Chora, the new > one from Horde.org looks very nice - they are now using it on cvs.php.net > and very good it is too. Yeah, I like chora a _lot_, I wish they would use it on sf.net. anyway, I'm going to establish a new cvs.binarycloud.com soon, and that will have chora on it. _a |
