Brad, I had the
same problem you are having, if you are referring to installing Cygwin before
you can install Cygwin/XFree. The
problem is that you are probably trying to save the downloaded files to a
network drive that doesn’t have 100% correct permissions set on it. For example, I was trying to download
the packages to my Samba share, and I kept getting the error about setup not
being able to open “ash-20000823.tar.gz.tmp”. Downloading the packages to my local drive worked fine. Let me know the details of your failed
downloads, even if you get it working, because I would like to know more about
why setup fails. Harold L Hunt II Phone: 800-850-1616 ext 108 Email: harold@compasstechnologies.com -----Original

I wasting my time with the setup.exe that's supposed to download and install
everything? It keeps saying it can't find *.tmp files when trying to download. Should
I quit trying with it, or is there some magical (read: undocumented) thing I
have to do to it to make it work? Cheers, Brad
