Nope. I said “chmod 666 /var/log/setup.log”, and setup.exe still isn’t writing anything new to it. (That resulted in 606 permissions, for some reason. I have no idea why I effectively have an 0070 umask on this system, even though “umask” from the normal Cygwin terminal says 0022.) Then, since I thought I remembered that setup.exe had a mode where it wrote debugging stuff to stdout/stderr, I tried running “setup-x86_64.exe -vB” from a dash admin shell, but got nothing on the console. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
