RE: error during install

["Mike Marchywka" <mmarchywka at eyewonder dot com>]

This sounds similar to a problem I've had with both a clean install and an attempt
to update a working install. I keep trying to get cygiconv-2 to load by playing with
the setup install options. I think I could make this work but sometimes default+install 
UNINSTALLS stuff making this approach unworkable- I can get cygwin to run but
it can't find sed. When I request the addtional stuff that includes sed, someone
feels the need to delete the stuff I installed to get that much to work.
Eventually setup dies and then I can't even get bash ( someone deleted
bash.exe even though I simply requested additional packages).

What changed in the last few months? I've made several installs and never had
this kind of problem. I thought I could just add things without uninstalling 
parts of bash.


ISN'T IT POSSIBLE TO LOAD CYGWIN WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH A GUI?
THIS SETUP MENU SEEMS TO HAVE PROBLEMS.

THANKS.
