Sorry.

I use normal user to download and then the admin a/c to install such that all 
CYGWIN instaled packages belong to admin. Recently, after downloading by the 
normal user a/c, I cannot simply invoke the admin a/c to finish the 
installation; it simply stops with both the "back" and "next" buttons dimmed  
after MD5 checking!!. I could only "cancel" the installation and nothing else. 
I've struggled several times to try to fix the problem:
i) I successfully installed once after removing the /var/log/setup.log*
ii) I successfully installed once after copying the /var/log/setup.log* from 
another server 2k3.
iii) I successfully installed once after copying the setup.log* from the 
"download" side by the normal user a/c.
iv) NOW this morning I'm trying after I could not proceed again with both the 
"back" and "next" buttons dimmed after MD5 checking again!!

I tried the above i)-iv) since each method was valid ONCE only!!

Please help.

Thanks.


Jason
