Hello,
    Yes. The initial packages, what is programmed in to setup to retrieve as
the cygwin base installs fine, however nothing else will.
    For lack of any good ideas on my part i was wondering if it is possible
to download cygwin packages manually to / then bunzip2 them and untar them,
if they'll be considered installed?
    Kepp the suggestions coming please.
Thanks.
Dave.

So you are saying that the initial packages do install correctly?
