inetd servers went wrong after upgrading cygwin

[John Vincent]

Hi,

Since you've had so much trouble trying to upgrade
your cygwin installation, can I suggest a couple of
points:

1. Make sure **NO** cygwin processes are running when
you try to install. You must stop inetd and cron, close
any bash or rxvt sessions, etc. Otherwise the installation
process may not update the DLL when you think it has.

2. Make sure you don't have more than one version of
cygwin1.dll installed. Some windows packages install
a version of the DLL without telling you, so search
your whole hard disk for any other copies, delete
any you find.

I hope these suggestions are useful.

/John Vincent.
