Cygnus 1.1.2 setup hangs for me under Windows NT 4.0

Title: RE: Cygnus 1.1.2 setup hangs for me under Windows NT 4.0





I would suggest placing some note about virus scanners in setup instructions.  Most other installers that have problems with virus scanners usually has a note about it.

Beep.


This is probably FAQ fodder but do you think that anyone would read the FAQ
at this stage of using Cygwin?


I mean, if the setup hangs would the first inclination be to look for a FAQ?


I suppose that we could actually put this in the opening setup instructions,
too.
