Installing Cygwin problem??

I attempted to reinstall Cygwin on my system.  The reinstall kept
seeming to get locked up.  So, after downloading all of Cygwin to a
local directory, I moved the install directory out of the way and tried
to install from (I guess) scratch.  Cygwin seemed to always get stuck in
the man-db.sh script during the post-install process.  I'm not sure if
the process was conflicting with the McAfee virus scanner.  I was
finally able to kill the man-db.sh script after ~12 hours of running and
the installer seemed to go on and finish the installation.  I'm not
sure, though, what the state of the install is.

1. Is this a known problem?
2. Can I rerun the postinstall/man-db.sh script by hand?  If so, how?
3. Or is there a script that I could run instead?
