Hi Alex,

I tried to install cygwin and it hanged when executing /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh . To proceed further, I marked this script as "done" and all the rest was OK. Then I started cygwin and run this script manually. I found that it was a conflict with my existing fpTeX installation (fpTeX is a TeTeX port to Windows) that defined an environment variable TEXMFCNF to one of Windows directories. The script post-texmf.sh diagnosted that and asked for user's reaction. I redefined the variable in my .bashrc as TEXMFCNF="/usr/share/texmf/web2c:", and the script run. The bad thing is that the terminal window does not exist during setup.exe run. Therefore, the user can not react to script's questions. My recommedation is to reprogram post-texmf.sh in such a manner that it will never ask for user's intervention, and will set the TEXMFCNF variable uncoditionally to its true value to avoid the described conflict.
Could you please attach the output of $ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out as described in http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Our setup.exe maintainers couldn't reproduce this problem on their systems. Any read in the postinstall script is just skipped.
Do you have Win95?
