Hello--

I'm new to the list.  I would love to get Cygwin running on my Windows XP 
x64 system.  I found some recent messages from this list and they helped 
enough that I got Cygwin up, but there were errors in the installation 
such that I am missing many important things like ls and mv!  But most 
other things seem to be there.  The install stuck repeatedly on 
sysvinit.sh and on xinetd.sh, so I renamed those scripts and skipped them.

What I'd really like to see is some instructions on how I can get Cygwin 
running on XP x64.  Are such instructions planned, or will a new version 
of the installer just work with XP x64?  I used the 8/19 versions of the 
snapshots of cygwin1-20050819.dll.bz2 and cygwin-inst-20050819.tar.bz2, 
but I might not have used them correctly (I just overwrote old files with 
new ones midway through the install).

I appreciate any help you can offer.  Thanks in advance.

Mike
