I found several emails regarding the -X command line option for setup.exe to ignore the sig files which took care of the above errors - yes I should have searched more for command line options or the word signature - my apologies. Although I'm not sure why the Win2k install was seeing this but the WinXp install was not. After that I started digging deeper WinXp said certain packages were current but the Win2k install wanted the earlier version. As I mention previously: > If I then look at the downloaded setup.ini files on each machine in the > download directory the files match what setup showed for that machine - > IE the setup.ini file for the same mirror for the 2 different machines > is different even though I ran the setup.ini simultaneously so I could > see what happened that was different. I did this test again but went a step further. I saved the setup.exe from cygwin.com on both machines and ran it - this created a setup.ini file for each of the mirrors I previously mentioned. Looking at the WinXp version for 2 packages I know had issues (libcairo-devel and libcairo) the setup.ini from the gatech mirror had the current versions (1.8...). When I looked at the Win2k version it showed the older versions (1.6...). I then downloaded the setup.bz2 from the gatech mirror on each machine and when I bunzip2'd it on each machine the libcairo entries on the Winxp matched the setup.ini and the setup from setup.bz2 on the win2k also had the correct versions but the setup.ini file looks strange - see examples: This is from setup.bz2: setup-timestamp: 1232614829 setup-version: 2.573.2.3 @ libcairo-devel sdesc: "Cross-device vector graphics library (development files)" ldesc: "Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output support.

Any thoughts. bk
