There were a few problems. But before I can talk about this I apparently have to post several hundred lines of bumpf-- bash-2.04$ cygcheck -s -v -r Cygnus Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Sat Jul 29

help about each section 1) The setup program did nothing. It would produce a number of screens which I negotiated without its complaining then it would disappear. 2) After following the instructions on how to install "manually" (starting with the bootstrap zip) my bin and usr/bin are distinct directories with disjoint contents. I understand from the FAQ that this isn't how it's supposed to be. Does it matter? 3) I didn't want to compile C programs but I did want to run Perl scripts so initially I didn't download the gcc or binutils tarballs. I did download perl-5.6.0-RC1 from cygutils.netpedia.net but found it didn't support the LWP module. I went back to netpedia but it was down so I downloaded LWP and its dependencies from CPAN. These contain .c files so I installed gcc. They still didn't compile because of missing header files (sys/sem.h and one other). Fortunately netpedia was back up and I found they had a pointer to a collection of modules at cygwin.cjb.net in RPM format. SO I download the rpm tarball, install that, spend a good deal more time downloading all the rpm files (which I have to do via another computer since my only access to the Win95 machine is via telnet/ftp and the rpms appeard to be available only by http). I remount my /usr directory in binary mode because the page where I got rpm from said it only works in binmode filesystems. rpm then proceeds to not work, eg bash-2.04$ rpm -i --ignoreos perl-5_6_0-Digest-MD5-2_09-2-cygwin1_1_i386.rpm failed to open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory cannot read header at 24 for lookup bash-2.04$ rpm -qa could not read database record! bash-2.04$ rpm -i --ignoreos perl-5_6_0-MIME-Base64-2_11-2-cygwin1_1_i386.rpm failed to open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory bash-2.04$ rpm --version RPM version 3.0.4 4) I notice that backgrounding ftp with ^Z doesn't work: on foregrounding it acts as though I had typed "bye".
