Problem installing cygwin

2004-12-13 Thread Mark ONeill
I am trying to install the latest cygwin release. Things go fine until I get to xorg-x11-f100-6.8.1.0-3. The setup program then just sits around for a long time increasing in size until it crashes. Anyone have any ideas? Regards Mark O'Neill -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#uns
