I redownloaded the setup.exe file today to update my cygwin install, so I have the most current version, 2.416. I'm running WinXP.
When I try to update my installation, I always receive the error "unable to get setup.ini from <ftp://ftp.chg.ru/pub/sourceware/cygwin>". I performed the following steps: 1) ran setup.exe, clicked next 2) chose "Install from Internet" 3) chose "C:\Program Files\Cygwin" as root dir, install for "All Users" using "Unix" text file type and proceeded even after receiving a warning message to not install to a dir which contains a space. 4) chose "C:\Documents and Settings\Tim\Desktop" as the local package dir 5) chose a "direct connection" 6) selected "ftp://ftp.chg.ru"; from the download sites list All that I see is Downloading... setup.bz2 Connecting... Progress 0% My internet connection works, so that is not the problem. I read the faq, and searched the cygwin mailing list and the google usenet archive, which resulted in some promising, yet unsucessful advice: 1) remove the file "last-mirror"... I can't find one 2) remove the trailing blank from the download location... there isn't one Any suggestions? thanks, Tim Partridge -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
