^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So you can't reach this mirror for some reason.

>get_url_to_membuf failed!
>get_url_to_membuf ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/pub/mirrors/cygwin/setup.ini
>getUrlToStream ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/pub/mirrors/cygwin/setup.ini
>getUrlToStream failed!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nor this one.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But this one looks OK.


>2004/03/24 00:48:48 Ending cygwin install

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is this actually the log from a failed run?  There's only 7 seconds between
getting the setup.ini and the end of the install.  Or are you saying you're
not picking any packages beyond the default?
