I didn't mean to imply that rebooting was the best solution, just that there may be some extra steps involved when you do the base Cygwin install. Other things that come to mind are making sure that mount points and accounts are set up. This could be done as a separate step that does whatever it needs to do in order to prepare for the package installer and then kicks off the package installer. The package installer could then be a regular Cygwin application. This would also make it easier to replace the package installer component in the future. -Jerry
