I was doing "Download from Internet". Instead I should have checked "Install from Internet". This was the problem! Those of you who faced similar problems, try doing it again, with the 2nd radio button checked. Stupid of me, eh ;) Thanks all for your suggestions :) -----Original Message----- From: Simha, Shuba [mailto:shuba_simha AT merck DOT com] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 11:02 AM To: 'bkeener AT thesoftwaresource DOT com'; cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: cygwin download - failed I've seen a lot of this problem since the last few days ! I have the same problem too. I did delete all the directories "latest", "d:\cygwin" & "contrib". Still it does not install.. I am installing "From Internet". Previously, I had installed Cygwin in D-drive. When I tried to install it again in D-drive, it was unable to. So I tried C-drive last friday, it started downloading, but when I came in this morning, I saw the message "Download incomplete" !! When I try to install again to the same drive & directory, it does not show any packages, so I deleted the directories "latest", "contrib", (there was no "cygwin" root dir !!), & started download again. It is downloading, but it might not download successfully, as before. THIS IS THE 5th TIME I'M TRYING TO DOWNLOAD, each time with a different mirror !! PLEASE HELP; What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Please be sure you deleted both of these in their entirety as you said you did and then setup should allow you to re download/install the entire system (all packages). Also if you could also tell us if you selected download from internet, install from local directory or install from internet - it will help us pinpoint your problem a little better. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
