Once we change setup to save the responses from the last time it was run - you 
will have what you want - it would always show partial first (I would think) if 
that was the way you last left it.  Am I correct folks?

No.  Just click on the "View" button.  It's not that hard.

Actually, you didn't attach any log file.

I would recommend starting a command prompt window and running 'cygwin.bat'
from there.  You obviously have a configuration problem (did you reboot when
you were asked to?) but you're not going to get allot of insight without
seeing the messages output.  Running 'cygwin.bat' from the command prompt
will give you that information.  I also suggest you read and follow the
problem reporting guidelines found at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>,
particularly if you need to follow-up on this issue with the list.  Pay
particular attention to the bit about *attaching* cygcheck output.

Did you check that paths in cygwin.bat agree with your new installation?

cygwin setup

[dubcek]

My problem is that, even though cygwin installs itself without making any
objections, nothing works. When I clock on the icon or on cygwin.bat windows
flashes the cygwin window on my screen but immediately disappears.
I reinstalled cygwin (which originally worked very well) many times. 
Because I am desperate after trying the install procedure countless times, I
am sending you the setup.log file. 
Thanks for any help.

Ah good, we're finally got to the point where there's only one minor 
quibble with setup.  This is truly a momentous day.  Did anyone bring 
the champagne? ;-)

cygwin setup

[Kewley, J (John)]

I have one minor quibble about cygwin setup.

It stores all my previous options for the setup except the port number
for the http/ftp proxy.

Can this be saved as well?

Cygwin Setup

[Carlos de Sousa]

Hi!

I'm running setup.exe 2.78.2.13, I'm a little 
frustrated over the fact that the only information
not saved between invocations is the proxy server setting and the 
port number.
As I normally run behind a FW, I need to fill in that
information every time.
Any reason for that, or is my ini file screwed up?

Keep up the good work!

Regards
Carlos de Sousa

Yes.  Get the cygwin sources, and it's in src/winsup/cinstall.

There was, until we added .tar.gz support to setup :-)

Seriously, people have talked about RPM, but until someone decides to
actually *do* something, tarballs remain the standard "package" format
for Cygwin.

cygwin setup

[McNulty Junior Bobby]

No complaints, really.
At 6:35 pm central, Wednesday 22, still trying to
download Cygwin tools to redo my archine, inetutls
refused to DL.
Was someone replacing it was I was trying to download
it?
Guess we'll never know.
ftp.sunsite.utk.edu was the site.
Really, this tennessee site is the only one I should
be using since it is the closest to me.
It was the first one I noticed to have cygwin 1.1.6-1.
