That's the log from a failed run. It just hangs there on the download 
screen saying "Downloading... setup.bz2  Connecting...  Progress:"  With 
no progress. Then a window comes up. When I just tried it now it said: 
"Internet Error" in the title and "550 /cygwin/setup.bz2: Not a 
directory" in the message.  The original setup window still hangs there 
after I click "OK". (Its been hanging there the whole time I have been 
typing this) and this second a second window poped up with "550 
/cygwin/setup.ini: Not a directory" followed by "Cygwin Setup: Unable to 
get setup.ini from "ftp://ftp.easynet.be/cygwin>".  I try another one 
and get a similar response (am trying again now). The date on the log 
file is a month old though so I am wondering if it is writing anything 
now or if the text there is from when I started trying to install it.  
Deleting the log and trying again does not reproduce the log. I run 
setup from c:\download and look for the log file in c:\cygwin\var\log.

It won't help me with updates, but I still should have my original 
installation on another drive from before my upgrade to XP. I wonder if 
I can get that going though it would be nice to be able to get pudates 
and new packages.
