Problem solved ^^, but thanks anyway! My error was relying on the "uninstall"-function in the internet-installation. I had aborted my first installation and thought the uninstall stuff would take care of the files. But (as it says in the FAQ ^_^ ) that's not really the case, as you have to uninstall manually. After that I re-installed and everything worked fine.

Sounds to me like this batch file is messed up somehow. What does it look like? What's the output of 'getfacl c:/cgywin/cygwin.bat? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
