Re: Cygwin Setup 99%
A bit of bad luck here: I'm reinstalling Cygwin on a newly formatted machine this morning. So what do I do to get it installed now? The setup is hung. Do I cancel and run it again? What? Thanks.

RE: Cygwin Setup 99%
Hi Jean-Claude, When does the setup hang exactly? I installed Xwin this morning and it hangs while executing XFree86-bin-icons.sh. So I cancelled the installation and I went in the /etc/postinstall directory and I executed all the sh scripts one by one and renamed them *.done. I don't know why it happens though. Executing XFree86-bin-icons.sh manually seems to work fine... Hope this helps...

Re: Cygwin Setup 99%
Open a bash shell and run kill -9 `ps -s|grep cygpath|awk '{print $1}'`
from it. Setup should then simply continue.

Re: Cygwin Setup 99%
Make that /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh. I said /usr/XFree86/... below.
