[Coco] ack!

[Bill Pierce]

Christopher,
I did that and it worked. Now the step 7. "make" cmd gives nothing but "can't find directory" errors and ultimately fails.

All went pretty well up to this point.
As I said, I got a LOT of warnings in the lwtools installation. something about referencing "char"

Also, when installing cygwin, at the end of the installation I got 

Postinstall script errors:
Package: cygutils
    cygutils.sh exit code 127

and I have no idea if this has anything to do with it.

Bill:

	You need to change to the nitros9 directory before the update.
