Hi,

I've installed Cygwin from the tar.gz files on 
mirror.aarnet.edu.au on a windows 95 machine. There were a few problems. But
before I can talk about this
I apparently have to post several hundred lines of
bumpf--

bash-2.04$ cygcheck -s -v -r

Use -h to see help about each section


1) The setup program did nothing. It would produce
a number of screens which I negotiated without 
its complaining then it would disappear.

2) After following the instructions on how to install
"manually" (starting with the bootstrap zip) my bin
and usr/bin are distinct directories with disjoint
contents. I understand from the FAQ that this isn't
how it's supposed to be. Does it matter?

3) I didn't want to compile C programs but I did 
want to run Perl scripts so initially I didn't 
download the gcc or binutils tarballs. I did download
perl-5.6.0-RC1 from cygutils.netpedia.net but found 
it didn't support the LWP module.

I went back to netpedia but it was down so I downloaded
LWP and its dependencies from CPAN. These contain .c
files so I installed gcc. They still didn't compile
because of missing header files (sys/sem.h and one other).

Fortunately netpedia was back up and I found they had
a pointer to a collection of modules at cygwin.cjb.net
in RPM format. SO I download the rpm tarball, install
that, spend a good deal more time downloading all
the rpm files (which I have to do via another
computer since my only access to the Win95 machine
is via telnet/ftp and the rpms appeard to be available
only by http).

I remount my /usr directory in binary mode because the
page where I got rpm from said it only works in 
binmode filesystems. rpm then proceeds to not work, eg

bash-2.04$ rpm -i --ignoreos perl-5_6_0-Digest-MD5-2_09-2-cygwin1_1_i386.rpm
failed to open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
cannot read header at 24 for lookup
bash-2.04$ rpm -qa
could not read database record!
bash-2.04$ rpm -i --ignoreos perl-5_6_0-MIME-Base64-2_11-2-cygwin1_1_i386.rpm
failed to open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
bash-2.04$ rpm --version
RPM version 3.0.4

4) I notice that backgrounding ftp with ^Z doesn't
work: on foregrounding it acts as though I had typed
"bye".

Cheers,
