I missed it amongst the response and skipped over it. I have to make a transition from newsgroup to listserver. (Wish there was an English newsgroup for this too) >>That's the log from a failed run. It just hangs there on the download screen saying "Downloading... setup.bz2 Connecting... Progress:" With no progress. Then a window comes up. When I just tried it now it said: "Internet Error" in the title and "550 /cygwin/setup.bz2: Not a directory" in the message. The original setup window still hangs there after I click "OK". (Its been hanging there the whole time I have been typing this) and this second a second window poped up with "550 /cygwin/setup.ini: Not a directory" followed by "Cygwin Setup: Unable to get setup.ini from "ftp://ftp.easynet.be/cygwin>". I try another one and get a similar response (am trying again now). The date on the log file is a month old though so I am wondering if it is writing anything now or if the text there is from when I started trying to install it. >>Deleting the log and trying again does not reproduce the log.

I was unable to log onto ftpeasynet.be via Mozilla Firebird but had no problems using IE and could download the setup files. Running setup caused an immediate failure though at the point of download again. Downloading the setup files to the local package directory and pointing the setup program there crashed it. After running setup again it again froze at the download stage and after several minutes of waiting and nothing happening I hit cancel and here is the log from that (below). It seems to be stuck at the ftp prompt not entering any commands. 2004/04/14 23:31:20 Starting cygwin install, version 2.416 2004/04/14 23:31:20 Current Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Altman Family\Desktop 2004/04/14 23:31:20 Changing gid to Users 2004/04/14 23:31:20 Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop.
