I downloaded Setup.exe version 2.850 (32 bit) on Oct 18, 2014 and used it to
install cygwin from scratch on an Asus Eee notebook with Atom N455 cpu. I
tried to install only the default packages but it seems like that took about
8 hours to download overnight. The install went okay until it came to the
/etc/postinstall/texlive-collection-basic.sh which seemed to hang for at
least 12 hours. Thinking it was hung I canceled the install, but then I
found this longish thread going back several years, so I restarted the
install and let it run for at least 24 hours and see no more happening. It
sits the whole time on this script. The "Total:" line shows 99% done and
the "Package:" line shows zero progress the whole time.
Is there a way to install Cygwin without installing this package, which
seems to have been included in the default selection?
I don't know what happened, but you must have inadvertently selected
some packages to install that you didn't intend to choose. There are no
texlive packages in a default installation.
