Summary: Successful install on virgin 98 machine, I think, but I'm not sure if chmod is working correctly (due to my ignorance of how it should work on FAT-32).
virgin Win98 Install From Internet All Users Unix C:\cygwin ftp://mirrors.rcn.net default package set
It seems to work; I'm not actually sure what to test. I brought up a cygwin console, and did a few cd and ls commands. chmod isn't giving me the results I'd expect on UNIX (but I don't know if it should). The partition is FAT-32.
$ cd /tmp $ mkdir j $ cd j $ touch p $ ls -l -rw-r--r-- $ chmod a+x p $ ls -l -rw-r--r-- $ chmod a-rwx p $ ls -l -r--r--r--
I could try some installation permutations, but I wonder if anyone has advice on how I should test the resulting installed cygwins. (Altho, I'm lazy, so I won't do too much.)
Note: I've started a virgin XP test as well. (I'm using vmware, so not perfectly virgin, but close.)
Should I send these types of results (which are fairly boring, when successful, but might be useful data points to have if problems turn up later, for comparison) to somewhere besides the list ?
Cordially,
Perry
