First, thanks for cygwin, xfree, and a great development environment
on Windows!
I don't think this is a big deal, but I haven't seen it mentioned in
the list so far and it is possible you don't know... I'm experiencing
the above error message from setup:
Setup version 2.218.2.9
Windows 2000, SP2
Here's how to reproduce it.
1. Run setup, selecting "Run the program as the following user:"
2. Login as Administrator (BTW, not a bug but an irritation, when you
type return the mouse is warpped away from its current location so
that the main "Cygwin Setup" screen does not have the focus {with
focus follows mouse, "Active Tracking" set}.)
3. Click "Next" through the following screens using the defaults:
"Main Screen"
"Choose A Download Source"
"Select Root Install Directory" (d:/usr/cygwin)
"Select Local Package Directory" (d:/usr/Archive/cygwin)
"Select Your Internet Connection"
"Choose A Download Site" (ftp://mirrors.rcn.net)
4. At the "Select packages to install" screen, click the "All Default"
arrow-ring to select "All Install", then next. There is nothing to
install.
5. I then get the dialog "Download Incomplete. Try again?". If I
select Yes, I just go into an infinite loop getting "Download
Incomplete" dialogs over and over. If I select No, I get the
dialog "Can't open (null) for reading: No such file".
In an attempt to clear the problem I deleted all files and directories
under my local package directory (except setup.exe) and I still get
the problem. My installation appears to be complete and correct, but
I don't use most packages in cygwin (e.g., tcl, inetd, tex, apache).
Thanks again for the great software!
Cheers,

Robert
