How do I keep the damn thing from installing to the wrong place? >Just moving my cygwin install to c:\cygwin is not an option... Can't say. It works for me (and always has). Perhaps looking at /var/log/setup.log.full would be helpful. /var/log/setup.log.full is as follows. Does the cygwin installer write any temp files? Does it have to perform any other actions besides writing the files to the install location and writing the paths to the registry? 2004/04/20 16:42:44 Starting cygwin install, version 2.418 2004/04/20 16:42:44 Current Directory: C:\WINNT\Profiles\justin.latham\DESKTOP 2004/04/20 16:42:44 Could not open Service control manager 2004/04/20 16:42:47 source: from cwd 2004/04/20 16:42:57 root: D:\ede_local\Cygwin_1-3_a binary system 2004/04/20 16:43:06 Selected local directory: D:\cygpack Found ini file - D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub%2fcygwi n/setup.ini 2% (8192 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 5% (16384 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 8% (24576 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 11% (32768 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 14% (40960 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 17% (49152 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 20% (57344 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 23% (65536 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 26% (73728 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 28% (81920 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 31% (90112 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 34% (98304 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 37% (106496 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 40% (114688 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 43% (122880 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 46% (131072 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 49% (139264 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 52% (147456 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 54% (155648 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 57% (163840 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 60% (172032 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 63% (180224 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 66% (188416 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 69% (196608 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 72% (204800 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 75% (212992 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 78% (221184 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 81% (229376 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 83% (237568 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 86% (245760 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 89% (253952 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 92% (262144 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 95% (270336 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 98% (278528 of 283123 bytes of ini file read 100% (283123 of 283123 bytes of ini file read Checking MD5 for file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub% 2fcygwin/release/bison/bison-1.875-1.tar.bz2 For file 'file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub %2fcygwin/release/bison/bison-1.875-1.tar.bz2 ini digest is 480c307fe532772941d40ffd0a5f0b29 file digest is 480c307fe532772941d40ffd0a5f0b29 Checking MD5 for file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub% 2fcygwin/release/flex/flex-2.5.4-2.tar.bz2 For file 'file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub %2fcygwin/release/flex/flex-2.5.4-2.tar.bz2 ini digest is aec3ca985523a039196ae8d184962f54 file digest is aec3ca985523a039196ae8d184962f54 Checking MD5 for file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub% 2fcygwin/release/libiconv/libiconv2/libiconv2-1.9.1-3.tar.bz2 For file 'file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub %2fcygwin/release/libiconv/libiconv2/libiconv2-1.9.1-3.tar.bz2 ini digest is d92941aa7b164bea15bb80e3de515c30 file digest is d92941aa7b164bea15bb80e3de515c30 Checking MD5 for file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub% 2fcygwin/release/gettext/libintl2/libintl2-0.12.1-3.tar.bz2 For file 'file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub %2fcygwin/release/gettext/libintl2/libintl2-0.12.1-3.tar.bz2 ini digest is 47d6c63919580fb91437f63912a34f0a file digest is 47d6c63919580fb91437f63912a34f0a Checking MD5 for file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub% 2fcygwin/release/m4/m4-1.4-1.tar.bz2 For file 'file://D:\cygpack/ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub %2fcygwin/release/m4/m4-1.4-1.tar.bz2 ini digest is 2c8c7cd79790148a420d769969555216 file digest is 2c8c7cd79790148a420d769969555216 Removing empty category Admin Removing empty category Archive Removing empty category Database Removing empty category Editors Removing empty category Graphics Removing empty category Mail Removing empty category Mingw Removing empty category Net Removing empty category Web Removing empty category XFree86 Chooser results...
