So it appears current setup.exe will cause this problem on Win2K if it installs on top of an exsisting installation.

Works for me. I'll WAG that your 'local package dir' is c:\cygwin. Thats not a supported configuration.

Davida @ 2002-12-06 17:40 UTC (permalink / raw) To: cygwin I tried the beta version Max suggested and it also exhibits the same behaviour on my win2k laptop; i.e. sucks up huge mem (depletes VM), and yet after more than 1 hour of running, it still says 1% of base-files 1.1-1 is installed. The "total" progress meter shows only about a sliver of "progress" :) Am running win2K with latest updates (service pack 3). Also, I have been updating my cygwin installation for over a year now, and this is the first time I have encountered this problem.
