Yes, I'm certain that I'm running 2.431 - and I did notice the discrepancy
between the version numbers, but figured that the informational message just
wasn't updated to reflect the new setup version...
Unfortunately I can't connect this computer to the internet to install right
from the cygwin site, the way I'd like to. Since this is my first cygwin
installation, I can't use any of the debugging tools from a previous version
that seem to be helpful in these situations.
Is there any other reason why setup would just quit?
