I am trying to download Lilypond for windows at work (where I have DSL), then save the 66mb download to cd as directory cygwin, then write cygwin to my c drive at home (where I only have a 56k modem) and install it. It says installation is complete, but when I run the test, no output is produced. (I was able to install it fine at work OK, though.) I have tried two variants of this, neither of which works. In variant 1, I first did the installation download at work, then installed from directory successfully & ran the test successfully, then saved the resulting 250 mb cygwin directory on cd. Then at home, copied the cygwin directory to my c drive and installed. The program installation hung at 98% complete in the post install phase. So I uninstall, then re-install- same thing. So I try Variant 2: Next day at work, I uninstall everything and delete the cygwin directory. Then make a new cywgin directory and download the installation files to directory cygwin. Then stop, put that 66mb cygwin directory on cd and bring it home and install it after uninstalling the previous version and deleting the previous cygwin directory. Then with the 66mb installation files copied from the cd, I run install. Now, I get a complete installation, but when I run the test.ly, it only flashes a black screen and produces no output.
Do I have to download the files directly onto my computer at home using my 56k modem to get it to install correctly at home?
