Subject: Numerous errors in post-install config
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0210171344370.24718-100000@betty.cometsite.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

I downloaded Cygwin yesterday and installed it on my WinXP box 
this morning.  While the install went fine, during the post-install 
configuration there were many errors.  The windows appeared and 
disappeared for my to give specifics, but I do remember seeing that it was 
unable to find something dealing with apache, some said something about 
not being able to add 'Emacs' to a menu because it already existed.  There 
were about 50 of those types of message for different programs.  I don't 
remember the names other than the emacs one.

There were also a lot of errors that said permission denied.

After the install, I ran cygwin to get a shell.  When the window opens, I 
get the following:

/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied

Printed three times just like that.  Then I get my prompt but it says:

Administrator AT RPB-13741 ~
$

But, I'm not logged in as Administrator (although I am in the local admin 
group on this workstation).  Why doesn't this have my normal username 
instead?

Any suggestions on how to get the post-install to work properly and get 
rid of the errors?
