I tried using setup.exe (not newsetup.exe) for the first time on Sat (setup
is dated 4/22 8:46 PM).  I had troublesome results.  Repeated installs had
the same results.  I searched the FAQ, docs, archives, etc. for some
answers, and didn't see anything.  Apologies if this is commonly answered
issue, I couldn't find anything on it (and my wife will tell you sometimes I
am blind when looking for things ;-).

I successfully have b20 installed and running for about the past month or
so.

Here are a few snippets from the setup.log file (I'll email it if someone
wants it; it is 648K.  Hopefully I have included enough here.):

Messages like those recur.  Basically, many files install, and many do not.
The Cygwin 1.1.0 is on the Start menu, and, not surprisingly, an empty
MS-DOS Prompt window appears when run (no command line appears - just
hangs).  I think there must be a config error somewhere.  I am a bit
surprised as b20 runs fine.

I am clueless on this.  Can anyone point me to archive info, install
instructions for the new method of install, or let me know what I am
missing?


BTW - With b20, everything was nicely contained in one directory.  Is it
more common with the new setup to create one dir off of C: (or wherever) to
collect all of the directories together, or to have them all off of root?

I made some changes to the setup program over the weekend.  It should be
noticeably faster at downloading from the internet.

I would appreciate it if any adventurous types would like to try this out
and report *to the list* if they have any problems.
