This doesn't appear to be a problem with the install program per se, but when I install the bare minimum cygwin system I get problems on checksums on the following archive files
cygwin-1.5.5-1.tar.bz2 groff-1.18.1-2.tar.bz2 tar-1.13.25-3.tar.bz2.
During the unpacking I get the error on those files and the rest of the install goes just swimmingly. Since I don't get the cygwin.dll, nothing works of course.
This seems to occur regardless of the mirror site. This is a narrowed down problem, I originally tried a complete development configuration, but if I include more stuff during the install, I've been having problems with downloading files like
perl-5.8 /* 5.6 gives me the same problem */ gdb-x.y /* all versions available give me the same problem */
Some pertinate info: - Win XP (all latest security patches, of which there are many) - direct connection thru NAT router (haven't given me problems earlier versions of cygwin) - Exploder v6.0.2800 - several MS developer apps (SDK, DDK, Vis Studio 7.0)
This also seems independant of the mirror site. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance for any help!
