Bailey" Subject: Re: Inopportune Crash Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed I accidentally erased the setup.log and setup.log.full files once, and setup then prompted me to reinstall everything. I fixed it by reinstalling just one of the packages and setting all of the other files to "skip." That fixed it... the setup files were recreated correctly. I don't know if your problem is the same (I suspect it is), but, it might be worth it to just try reinstalling one package. >Inopportune Crash > * To: cygwin at cygwin dot com > * Subject: Inopportune Crash > * From: Randall R Schulz > * Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2001 18:05:39 -0700 >Hi, >Earlier today I installed the new Vim--6.02--and one other package, whose >name I don't recall right now. >As it turned out, my system crashed just as the installation was >completing.
