Larry & All: I installed the same Cygin SW release on my 2 GHZ single core Win 2000 desk top machine and it completed the "Running" part of the installation in a timely manor. Is there a reason that it would take (possible hours) to complete on a new dual core 1.8 GHZ Laptop with Windows Vista? Maybe a laptop performance issue? Ram? Disk? Also is there a simple and quick method for removing the defective Cygin install? Currently I have a difficult time deleting the directories because of file sharing issues. Please note the last time I did this I had to stay up half the night. Also is there a easy way of patching a hung install in the "Running" phase by running the install scripts by hand with a master install script from the shell? What is the name and directory path for the master install script? Thanks for the help. As I noted the Cygin on my Windows 2K machine works great.
