Re: Setup.exe fails to access mirrors

Hi

I can access the site list of mirrors fine on Mozilla.

Here's the contents of the log file:

2003/08/14 16:25:46 Starting cygwin install, version 2.340.2.5
2003/08/14 16:25:46 Current Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Nat\Desktop
2003/08/14 16:25:46 Changing gid to Users
2003/08/14 16:25:46 Could not open service McShield for query, start and 
stop. McAfee may not be installed, or we don't have access.
2003/08/14 16:25:47 source: network install
2003/08/14 16:26:00 root: C:\cygwin text system
2003/08/14 16:26:08 Selected local directory: C:\cygwin\download
2003/08/14 16:26:10 net: Direct
2003/08/14 16:26:17 net: IE5
2003/08/14 16:26:19 Ending cygwin install

I'm not sure what the line about McAfee is all about. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help on this
