Thanks for the ideas...I cannot reach port:80 cygwin.com. I can ping cygwin.com and I can ftp
to it, but I cannot access the web. I have no filters in place to stop
me from reaching there. Currently hoping for a responce from my ISP in
regard to the issue. I also pestered support@redhat.com...
Can you telnet to port 80? Do you have an /etc/hosts with cygwin.com's
address (which may be stale)?
I used ncftpget -R ftp://mirror.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/* Upon reflection wget probably would have made this much simpler... because ncftpget only works 2 directory levels deep in recursion. Then I used setup.exe to install from a local directory. But there appears to be no specific source listing of packages to install. It listed everything and the cited packages caused setup.exe to GPF.I trying to skirt this issue of no cygwin.com:80 by downloading a
mirrored copy of cygwin packages.
That's what you're supposed to do.
2.457.2.2 is the version of setup I had those issues with.This however is met with the setup GPFing on various packages:Are you using an ancient version of setup? What does the first page
_obsolete/fileutils mhash _obsolete/sh-utils _obsolete/textutils
Unchecking these packages seems to help, but there's an awful lot of
stuff in misc packages and takes a while to install up to the next
package that gpf's. :/
report?
I copied a psudo snapshot from mirrors.kernel.org as mentioned, using ncftpget. Althought this does not resolve my issue of connecting to cygwin.com:80 I was able to install from the local directory, everything except those 4 packages.Any thoughts of wisdom for me?
Can you access cygwin.com via one of its aliases,
<http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/> or <http://sourceware.org/cygwin/>?
Some mirrors also have copies of setup.exe -- see if getting a more recent
version fixes your problem. The one on cygwin.com is from January 2005,
version 2.457.2.2. Try also getting a snapshot
(<http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-05/msg00250.html>).
HTH,
Igor
