I tried Three times to install Cygwin on my computer.
I downloaded all the packages from the sight: except
the databases, which I set to default. I then click
the setup icon to start the install. I select Install
from local directory and chose where I want to
install. Everything goes along just fine until "99%"
done. Then I get the "You should reboot for cygwin to
take effect.." dialog box. Next, I get the dialog
box: "Can't open Package Database for writing: no
such file or directory". I then reboot. BUT I don't
see cygwin in my start menu and I don't see the cygwin
shortcut on my desktop. What is going on, and how
should I solve this problem?
I am running Win2k: Pentium 4 ,2.4 GHz 1024 MB RAM.
I did not see this problem addressed anywhere on your
sight.
Thanks,
Lou Rosas
