Try: 1. Delete your previous installation directories 2. During your initial installation, don't select additional packages beyond those that are installed by default, that is, install the smallest number of packages possible to get a working Cygwin environment. 3. Add additional packages one at a time to increase the likelihood that you will successfully download and install each package before your connection breaks. It's possible to download by ftp the individual packages that are downloaded as a group by setup.exe, and then install them one-by-one, but this should only be used as a last resort. > -----Original Message----- > From: Raistlin Mage [mailto:dark_raistlin AT hotmail DOT com] > Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 7:06 AM > To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com > Subject: Complete newbie to cygwin > > > And not much better to linux. > Ok so I follow painfully the setup steps and lose connections > several times > so I ahve some 20 ftpsite folders sitting on my harddrive and > I attempt to > install from them only to find that bash gives me unknown > directory errors > and doesn't seem to know what commands like ls etc are. > So... ummm... > HELP :-) > -Rao > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* > http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus > > > -- > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > > -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
