Perhaps you're running one of Cygwin's service apps (sshd, crond, etc?) and you didn't stop it before doing the remove? Otherwise, this sounds like a simple permissions issue. If you're getting files installed that indicate no permissions, you might want to try setting 'nontsec' in your CYGWIN environment variable prior to the install. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
