installer crash on post-instal scripts

When I try to install cygwin on windows xp, the installer hangs at around 
90%, when it's running the X post install scripts. (From a full install)

My logs are at:

Crap crap crap crap.

My apologies, I *started* writing this email, then found a solution to the 
problem, then went back in to _delete_ this message, and sent it instead.

Sheesh :)

installer crash on post-instal scripts

2004-11-17 Thread Jing Zhou
Hi Kris,

I have the same problem of installing full cygwin 1.5.12.1. It froze
at 93% when installing postinstall in X11 directory. The disk size
continued growing. It was 2G when I eventally decided to delete it.
Then my computer crashed.

It seems to me that you found a solution. Could you please post the solution?

My computer is windows xp home.

thanks,

-Jing

What worked for me:

1. Completely wipe out existing cygwin installation
2. Install all of cygwin *except* X.
3. .. Install X stuff, by itself.

Regards,
Kristopher
