OK, the mailer wouldn't accept it with the attachment, too big. If you'd like the file, tell me where to send it and I will.

Yesterday, I tried using both "setup-2.358.exe" and "setup-2.358- debug-00.exe.gz", accepting the default packages. I also tried using a couple different mirror sites, clearing everything out and starting over atfer each attempt. With these, I never see the "Create Icons" screen. The last thing the install screen shows, with 97% in the top bar, is: Running... No Package /etc/posinstall/base-files-mketc.sh with the status bars below. I never moves after this, and a couple times I waited 30 minutes or more before I cancelled it. When I hit the "cancel" button at that point, it tells me "Installation Complete", but when I try to run Bash I get the same error as before. I did get a setup.log.full file. It all looks normal, no errors. Here are the last few lines: 2003/06/12 18:02:29 textutils 2003/06/12 18:02:29 which 2003/06/12 18:02:29 zlib 2003/06/12 18:02:29 _update-info-dir 2003/06/12 18:02:29 running: D:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c /etc/postinstall/base- files-mketc.sh 2003/06/12 18:31:31 mbox note: Installation Complete 2003/06/12 18:31:33 Ending cygwin install I assume the "Installation complete" line is where I hit "Cancel". I'll attach a copy of the file if you want to look at the rest. It also creates a "setup.log.postinstallXa67883" that is 0 bytes. Empty. HTH, any insights you could give are welcome.
