I updated and tried both version 2.521 and 2.523, with no success. I use "Direct Connection," not IE5 settings. Are you able to repeat my error on your system? Here is a detailed explanation of what I was doing: I bought a new computer and need to install cygwin from scratch. The first time I ran the setup.exe, everything worked fine, and I spent about 10 minutes going through all the modules, copying my old configuration. When I finally had all that I wanted, I hit "next." an error came up telling me the connection was lost. From then on, every attempt to load setup.bz2 gave me the "...unexpected $undefined..." error. The weird thing is that on my old computer and my co-workers computer, both having a working version of cygwin, the same problem occurs. Attatched is setup.log.full (not very helpful, but maybe you can find a hint?) ----- Original Message ----- > On Wed, 4 Jan 2006, Eric Vlach wrote: > >> At 8:30am PST, setup worked fine.
