Re: Get IO Error opening file

[Erich Dollansky]

Hi,

one follows the other.

Try to find this file via Google or Yahoo, download it manually to the 
location where cygwin stores its files on your machine and then try to 
install it again.


This happens once in a while. Maybe the path is wrong or the file is 
missing on the server.

Hi,

Trying to download and install Cygwin with Cygwin/X, I get an IO Error 
opening 'xorg-x11-fnts-6.8.99.901-1.tar.bz2'. I have tried to install 
from 5-6 different mirrors - allways with the same bad result. I have 
tried to install 'xorg-x11-fnts-6.8.1.0-3.tar.bz2' as well and with same 
result. Are there any problems with these packets. All other packets 
download and install ok. I have now a running Cygwin but without X-term, 
because when I start 'startxwin.bat' I get the error: 'Fatal server 
error: could not open default font fixed '. Has anybody a suggestion 
as to what goes wrong?

Is it possible to amend a subscription to this mailing list (e.g. change
the address) or is it a case of leaving and rejoining?
