Man pages messed up when viewed over SSH

2005-03-13 Thread overbored
Hi all, whenever I ssh into a remote host (I've only tried Linux boxes), man pages always get messed up. This has been an issue for me for a while, but it's not specific to Cygwin. I've tried the cmd, rxvt, and putty, all with similar results (only in putty, the corrupted characters only take u

Hello all, I've been attempting to install cygwin on a Windows 98 machine, but although it appears to complete the installation, I suspect that the setup scripts at the end are not run since the resulting bash shell is very bare and none of the commands seem to work (no paths set?). I have tried

I'm assuming you meant to reference the released dll of 1.5.13 and the snapshot of 20050311 (instead of 2004). bunzip2 WFM under the released dll. Your problem probably lies elsewhere and it would be helpful if you followed the problem reporting guidelines shown at: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
