#6 Problem with install via Cygwin setup.exe

When trying to install Cygnome using the cygwin
installer, as explained in the installation notes, I
got an error message when setup.exe tried to download
the setup information. See attached screenshot.

I use setup.exe 2.340.2.5.

Cygwin setup.exe version 1.3.22-1 (latest as of today)
can't install using
your 'http://cygnome.sourceforge.net/install' mirror.

Specifically it has a problem parsing one of your
(setup.ini?) install files.

If the install via setup.exe is going to be hard to keep up
on, perhaps you could make installpkg.sh optionally fetch
and install all the base libraries with wget.

Otherwise one has to manually download each package to
install. Nor is it clear from the downloads page what the
minimum base install is. I assume it's everything under
Core Libraries, Desktop, Cygnome libs ? That's quite a few
packages to be forced to download individually...

If I have time I'll see if I can see what the current setup.exe
doesn't like about your (setup.ini?) and post it if I do.

Okay, looks like there was a bogus entry in the setup.ini file.

I downloaded everything locally wiht wget, then removed

@

install: cygnome/setup.hint 544 94a327cea7d527988a93ce329130c379

from the setup.ini file and now setup can parse and install
the files.

Problem is now it's crashing on start :( but that was win98
which appears unsupported, crossing fingers for win2k on ntfs.
