No mirrors for setup

2014-09-25 Thread Richard Gribble
Greetings. Trying to run the 32 bit version of setup (2.850, or 2.774) does not populate the list of mirror sites. I am behind a firewall and have a proxy, but have not had problems previously. I should note that it has been some time since I updated my installations, but I'm not sure if th

I believe you'll find this is the default behavior with Windows XP and Windows 7 as well. In my experience, the issue is that windows "remember" where they were last, and reopen there. Thus if you had Firefox open in the secondary monitor, reboot (without the secondary monitor), and reopen Firefo

Greetings. I am getting some help at work (finally!), and need to be able to install cygwin on multiple machines, the same way each time. Is there a way to tell setup which packages to install so I don't have to go through the whole list each time, comparing it with the one on my box? Any help w

This may not work for you, but what I had to do was to mount the drives with the noacl option. This problem first surfaced for me when the server was upgraded from Windows 2003 Standard to Windows 2003 R2 Standard, and was noticeable in RCS where I couldn't check out files because I couldn't creat

I have experienced this problem several times.  In my case it seemed to be a problem between 'Unix' and 'DOS' files.  In each case, I have been able to fix it by editing the RCS file using vim and deleting all the extraneous carriage returns - :%s/^M$// Sometimes I've had to do it twice. Once I d

I don't know if this will resolve your problem, but I deal with long pathnames (as a prompt) by using the following function (I set it up as a function so that I can keep changing the prompt as I move around): function set_prompt { if [ `pwd | sed "s|${HOME}|~|" | wc -c` -gt 15 -a \ "
