I just got a new laptop with Windows 2000 and the first thing I did was try
to install cygwin... 3 times now, but for some reason I am not getting all
of the utilities... things like less, vim, gcc and many other things are
being skipped.
I have downloaded setup and tried installing over the internet as well as
downloading and installing from disk. The problem is associated, I think,
with the step where I select the stuff to install. I tried to find a
button to install everything, but the one marked Full could not be clicked.
There was prev, cur and something else, but it was not clear how to install
stuff from this. When I type setup again (without first deleting
everything) it says goto the control panel, but I can't find the control
panel... what do they mean control panel?
When I last installed it on my windows'95 box a year or so ago, everything
went like clock work. And I have 541 files installed in /bin. Tonight, I
have only installed 167 files in /bin.
My question, suncinctly, is how do I select everything? It will probably
be obvious once I see the trick, but I sure can not see it now and would
appreciate your help.
I have included a portion of the log file. For a lot stuff, the action is
skip... but I did not skip anything knowingly. How do I select what I
need?
Many thanks!
