   if it says Skip, then you do not have it
   if it has a version number, then you have it but not the latest

Saarah,

You have *got* to use better subjects in your messages... ;-)

First off, to correct a misconception, setup.exe is used for both the
initial install and the subsequent upgrades, so running it again will
not "reinstall" cygwin unless you request it (by marking some packages
"Reinstall").

Secondly, any queries relating to XFree should be directed to the
<cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com> list.  Please repost your query there.
