BUG ALERT!
I decided it was about time to clean out my old Cygwin installation, so I deleted
my d:\cygwin folder and ran the new setup program from an empty dir. I selected
Internet install and the mirror "sunsite.auc.dk".
It ran for a few minutes, downloading/installing the first few packages, but then
it crashed with no error message, other than an empty dialog box... the title was
one of your packages, I don't remember excactly.... took a screenshot of it, but
lost it during a file copy :-(. I think it was bison.
Then, when I started setup.exe again, I'd get the error "The system cannot find
the file specified" when it tried to download the ftp mirror list, until I located
the still-running setup.exe process in the Task Manager and killed it. Now I'm
running it again, a different mirror, appears to work.....
Could it be because I told IE5 to work offline while installing? It happened a few
minutes after that. I just did that to stop my mail program from hogging the
connection, but maybe it influenced the installation because of your "IE5
settings" option? Just guessing here.....
