I have tried downloading to a local directory (my usual preference), installing from the 'net, and -- most interestingly, to me -- installing from a copied download tree from another laptop whose installation went exactly as expected. In the two download cases I get "doanload incomplete; retry?" right at the end but haven't been able to figure out why. In the installation from the local copy cases I get a short list of mostly-empty categories, which I figure most definitely will not give me the right install. Trying to install from the 'net gives me more packages in more categories, but is still missing some interesting ones -- like tar, for instance, being set to "skip" by default (although perhaps because it wasn't listed in the first run from the local copy or smoe such). What do I need to do to get back to being able to install Cygwin? This is one error that has certainly never occurred for me before!
