I'm using Cygwin 1.3.2 on Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2), Cygwin is installed
in C:/Cygwin/
I didn't have any success at all with the new install process, I followed
exact intructions in your user guide but the script just fails mostly:
BTW why not just modify cygwin's setup.exe to allow simple download, install
and setup through gui ?
The script output is below:
Administrator@CO3007967-A /
$ ./Xinstall.sh
Welcome to the XFree86 4.1.0 installer
You are strongly advised to backup your existing XFree86 installation
before proceeding. This includes the /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11
directories. The installation process will overwrite existing files
in those directories, and this may include some configuration files
that may have been customised.
If you are installing a version different from 4.1.0, you
may need an updated version of this installer script.
