I am just reinstalling cygwin on a fresh install of XP on a rather old laptop with Avast as virus software.
It is absolutely crawling at the texlive postinstallation stage - stuck showing 24-25% for at least half an hour now. I was about to give up but googled "cygwin install hangs texlive-collection" and was surprised to actually hit something so will leave it to run over night. Previous installs went a lot lot quicker. There is no /var/log/setup.log etc that I can see yet ( only an empty file setup.log.postinstallXa03208 in C:\cygwin\var\log). I can confirm kpsewhich.exe is taking most of the CPU.
