Further to my last email I thought i'd send the list some information which
may, or may not be of use in tracking the problem (my knowledge of the whole
setup process being extremely limited).

Firstly i tried to do a "download from internet", selected "install" on the
All item in the packages list (thus requesting the entire distribution).
This seemed to fail when trying to download the post install script
_update-info-dir, complaining of "download incomplete" or similar. From
setup.log.full:

[_update-info-dir] action=00002-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no
     categories=All, _PostInstallLast
     requires=ash, texinfo
2002/05/26 19:32:58 mbox yesno: Download Incomplete.  Try again?
2002/05/26 19:33:10 Ending cygwin install

Following that, i reran the setup and did an install from local directory,
which got all the way through, though i noticed in the terminal window that
pops up many errors being reported, though they flashed by two quikly to see
(i can't find a log of them anywhere). Anyway, the distribution so far seems
to be ok, but this all seems buggy in the extreme.

I see from reading back in the list that the functionality/non-functionality
of setup.exe has been an issue for sometime, though i can't see anything
directly related to this. Apologies if I missed something pertinent.
