Install woes on W2K

Install woes on W2K

[Ross Burton]

Hi,

We are trying to install Cygwin on our new Windows 2000 Pro box (after
getting mightily annoyed with Win98).  However, we cannot install it.

We login as Administrator, and run setup.exe (version 2.194.2.22),
selecting "Install from Internet". Before the package selection page the
install routine hangs on a blank page showing "This page is left
intentionally blank".  Is this a known bug? Any workarounds?

Regards,
Ross Burton

I'm not positive, but I know the dialog box you are referring to, and
a -second- dialog box should pop up above that one giving you the choices of
packages to install. It's possible that you are having problems getting data
from the mirror of your choice, and the installer is not explaining this
error?
