But this one looks OK.

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?
That's the log from a failed run. It just hangs there on the download
screen saying "Downloading... setup.bz2 Connecting... Progress:" With
no progress. Then a window comes up. When I just tried it now it said:
"Internet Error" in the title and "550 /cygwin/setup.bz2: Not a
directory" in the message. The original setup window still hangs there
after I click "OK". (Its been hanging there the whole time I have been
typing this) and this second a second window poped up with "550
/cygwin/setup.ini: Not a directory" followed by "Cygwin Setup: Unable to
get setup.ini from "ftp://ftp.easynet.be/cygwin>". I try another one
and get a similar response (am trying again now). The date on the log
file is a month old though so I am wondering if it is writing anything
now or if the text there is from when I started trying to install it.
Deleting the log and trying again does not reproduce the log. I run
setup from c:\download and look for the log file in c:\cygwin\var\log.
It won't help me with updates, but I still should have my original
installation on another drive from before my upgrade to XP. I wonder if
I can get that going though it would be nice to be able to get pudates
and new packages.
