I just got the new cygwin dll of the main site and commenced to install via the prefered method of internet install. I chose all the packages I wanted, left the Install for ALL USERS checked, also the DEFAULT TEXT FILE TYPE UNIX checked. Then I preceded top install, everything seemed to go fine up until it finished downlooading and began to install. Then all of a sudden I got the message... The File and Direcotry c:\cygwin\etc\setup is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility. I run Chkdsk and it doesn't find anything wrong. Now I cant delete the dir C:\cygwin or any of the sub dir's in it because I get the msg... Cannot delete din because directory is not empy. I get similar msg's when i try to delete any of the sub directories under C:\cygwin All the contend for the install or cache as it's called in the instructions, is safely tucked away a dir i can get to and is complete and ready for the install via what would have to be a local install now. I am just stuck on what to do with regards to deleting the C:\cygwin DIR and it's sub directories. Also I wouldn't mind knowing what caused the courrption or error in the first place. Any ideas people? Thanks. Hyp _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
