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...
Jonathan

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

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.

Make that /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh. I said /usr/XFree86/...
below.

Wayne,
While we can't expect everyone to do a thorough mailing list archive
search before posting, we do at least expect them to look at the posts
from today. You problem has been reported before, and was, in fact,
reported again today:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-10/msg00134.html
The problem is known. You can just move
/etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh to
/etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh.done. Then, from a Cygwin bash
shell run '/usr/XFree86/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh'. That should create
the icons for you. The problem right now is that one of the utilities
we use hangs when we run the script from setup.exe, but it does not hang
when we run the script from a bash shell. The problem is being looked into.

I'm trying to install cygwin/xFree86. The install program runs to 99% but
does not finish. It stops at 'Running...' the
/etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh
Any suggestions?
