yes thats right.

RE: [SLUG] cygwin install problem

[Visser, Martin (Sydney)]

Not sure exactly what you problem is. I have Cygwin on XP and this works
for me.

1. Grap the latest setup.exe and setup.ini and put it in a download
directory (for me ...My Documents\Kits\Cygwin)
2. Choose the option to download to a local directory (the same as
above)
3. Download the files as appropriate
Cygwin installer will then exit
4. Rerun the cygwin setup.exe
5. Choose to install from a local directory (as above). (Make sure it
has the correct "root" directory for destination (for me C:\cygwin)
6. Choose to install (or not) the various packages

By changing the view in the setup window you should be able to easily
see (in a single list) which packages it is choosing to
download/install. It may be for you these aren't checked as required.

Subject: [SLUG] cygwin install problem


Hi all,

This may be a little OT but I am trying to install cygwin on my XP box, 
but i am having some trouble. Upon running the installer it finds the 
temp download directory and seems to pass all checksums and then says 
install is complete and my cygwin directory seems to have the full 
directory tree under it, but the directories are all empty, except for 
/etc/setup which has a timestamp file and /var/log which contains 2 log 
files (see attached).

Does anyone have a clue as to what could be happening here? I have 
manually selected all required files for installation in the installer 
but it makes no difference, it still wont install them.

cheers,

Brad

When you say you have "manually selected all required files for 
installation in the installer" have you both checked the boxes, as well 
as changed the status from default to install?
