Larry & All:

     I installed the same Cygin SW release on my 2 GHZ single core
Win 2000 desk top machine and it completed the "Running" part of the
installation in a timely manor.

     Is there a reason that it would take (possible hours) to complete
on a new dual core 1.8 GHZ Laptop with Windows Vista? Maybe
a laptop performance issue? Ram? Disk?

     Also is there a simple and quick method for removing the defective
Cygin install? Currently I have a difficult time deleting the directories
because of file sharing issues. Please note the last time I did this I
had to stay up half the night.

     Also is there a easy way of patching a hung install in the
"Running" phase by running the install scripts by hand with a
master install script from the shell? What is the name and directory
path for the master install script?

Thanks for the help. As I noted the Cygin on my Windows 2K
machine works great.
