Cygwin 1.7 Does not work

[Jaspreet Singh]

Hi there,

today i tried to start using 1.7 , but there there where many problems
like

cygrunsrv -S init

gives lots of 

init: error reading initrequest
init: can't open /dev/console

We got bind9 but nobody told how to install it


and just tell me if init works so good in cygwin why not to have
just init and cygserver as windows services and rest like httpd
named, postgresql, proftpd etc in init scripts in which main process
of cygwin like init and cygserver starts with windows and then init
starts all procces with scripts in runlevel.

this will give a kind of Linux feelling tell me if i am wrong

This is just to starting

any help

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you're
trying to run a Linux system on a Windows machine,
why not download the FREE VMWare Server 2.0 and
install Linux as a VM?

You can give the VM a couple of virtual network
adapters and use one for a host-only network and
the other for connectins on your real network.

Thi smight be easier than making Cygwin what it is not.
