Re: Incomplete downloads reported across several mirrors
By any chance, when you start a Cygwin shell do you occasionally get errors like "4 [main] bash 15592 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D, top 0x74, reserve_size 454656, allocsize 458752, page_const 4096"? This is an error I've run into several times and it often causes problems with setup updates. The best advise I can offer is to try opening 20 or 30 shells at a time, several times, then close the windows until you don't get a lot of these errors. Then, quickly, run the setup script again. It doesn't hurt to keep opening and closing a few shell windows while the setup is running. You can also try the solution in the thread "1.7.1-1 Install freeze of Cygwin post install.sh" which is a little drastic; but sometimes rebooting will reduce the frequency of this error occuring. This error has been reported on several threads previously, however I've never seen a good solution. Sincerely, Brian S.

Not sure this is Cygwin-specific, so I'd rather report this on the mutt-users mailing list. http://www.mutt.org/mail-lists.html I had minor upgrade problems, too, and have quickly been helped there.

Moving Cygwin directory safe?
My Cygwin resides under C:\cygwin (plus G:\cygvar for packages), but as both C: and G: are nearly full, I'd like to move the Cygwin folders to partition T: which has plenty of space left. Is this safe or are there things such as registry entries that will prevent Cygwin from working properly, or even deconfigure or corrupt my installation? -- Michael Ludwig -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Right. rebaseall is the right way to deal with these issue which, coincidentally enough, would have absolutely nothing to do with an "incomplete download". cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

It's a good strategy to use a subdirectory like /net/ for those mount points where the hardware may be unreachable, thus it would read /net/z, to avoid performance problems with listing or completion in root directory. regards kf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

There is, but nothing that can really damage your installation. However, to be on a safe side, you better reinstall it fresh in the new place, copying over your personal settings.
