This enables setup to complete the rest of the install. The reason nothing quite works for you is that setup runs post-install scripts at the end and if you kill setup when it hangs, these scripts don't all get run. I presume that killing this process will still cause something to misbehave because some part of the install has failed - but I haven't found what that problem might be yet. -- Andy Rushton, Research Fellow, School of ECS, Southampton University address: rm 3053, Mountbatten Building (53) phone: 023 8059 6665 http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~ajr1 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
