Summary: Successful install on virgin 98 machine, I think,
but I'm not sure if chmod is working correctly (due to my
ignorance of how it should work on FAT-32).
virgin Win98
Install From Internet
All Users
Unix
C:\cygwin
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net
default package set
It seems to work; I'm not actually sure what to test. I brought
up a cygwin console, and did a few cd and ls commands.
chmod isn't giving me the results I'd expect on UNIX
(but I don't know if it should). The partition is FAT-32.
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir j
$ cd j
$ touch p
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r--
$ chmod a+x p
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r--
$ chmod a-rwx p
$ ls -l
-r--r--r--
I could try some installation permutations, but I wonder
if anyone has advice on how I should test the resulting
installed cygwins. (Altho, I'm lazy, so I won't do too
much.)
Note:
I've started a virgin XP test as well.
(I'm using vmware, so not perfectly virgin, but
close.)
Should I send these types of results (which are
fairly boring, when successful, but might be useful
data points to have if problems turn up later, for
comparison) to somewhere besides the list ?
Cordially,
Perry
