Hello
After solving some other computer problems, I followed your instructions
exactly below, going to the mirrors.kernel.org ftp site to install. By
clicking on "skip" (thanks to whomever said that I should do that), I was
able to select the things I wanted.
When I hit "next", it went to the grey "Progress" screen and started to
download, then an error box popped up that said:
cygwin setup
Unable to get setup.ini from
<ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin>
I hit the "ok" button, and it took me back to the page where I could choose
mirror sites. I selected a different site and it proceeded to download and
install correctly.
I have attached the cygcheck file for this working install in case it
contains any information about the aborted install. I doubt it does, but I
thought I'd offer it anyway.
I don't need any help at the moment, but I thought you might want to know
about the error at the kernel.org site.
Thanks,
Tasha

Forgot to add that most of the above information is in the Cygwin User's
Guide at <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html>.
