Hi,
re the thread associated with
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg00127.html

Using setup from HEAD cvs version 128 - I have (had) the same problem, after
mirror it stalls at connecting ... to try and get the setup.ini - windows
task manager shows setup grabbing memory by the bucketfull.  I am using
win2k with IE6 and direct connection.  My computer is behind a win2k
'Ineternet connection sharing' setup, but this is the first time I have had
this problem...

Recompiling from cvs again to see if its fixed...
and it appears it is... - information provided anyway just incase its not
really fixed ...
cvs HEAD 129 works - I also recompiled the rest of cygwin though ... if
setup depends on anything in particular from that...  first couple of times
with 129 I got a message saying that it could not download setup.ini from
planetmiror... - wondering if possibly the problem happens when the mirror
refuses connection or similar, but the program is not catching this properly
and repeatedly trying (something)?

setup.log is looking normal - excerpt for the approrpriate installation
2001/11/06 20:54:27 Starting cygwin install, version 2.128

2001/11/06 20:57:55 Ending cygwin install

- I clicked the cancel button and waited while memory got cleaned up ... for
this case.


setup.log.full - is huge 44megs ...
as above till net: Direct - then
get_url_to_string http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst
site: ftp://planetmirror.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin
get_url_to_string ftp://planetmirror.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/setup.ini
ftp > x

repeat the ftp line semi-ad-infinitum.
