RE: Cygwin Setup 99%

["Jonathan Primeau" <Jonathan at integrationnewmedia dot com>]

Hi Jean-Claude,

When does the setup hang exactly? I installed Xwin this morning and it
hangs while executing XFree86-bin-icons.sh. So I cancelled the
installation and I went in the /etc/postinstall directory and I executed
all the sh scripts one by one and renamed them *.done.

I don't know why it happens though. Executing XFree86-bin-icons.sh
manually seems to work fine...

Hope this helps...
Jonathan
