I am trying to reinstall cygwin after an upgrade to XP. I run setup to
install from the internet (DSL) and get a list of the ftp sites but
regardless of which one I choose it freezes at the download window never
changing from the "Connecting..." message. An error window titled "Internet
Error" with the following message: "550 Can't change directory to
/sites/sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/setup.bz2: not a directory" pops up if
I wait. Any suggestions on how I can get around this or install without
setup or something?
Make sure you can connect to the internet. Make sure you use the same
connection method for setup (direct vs proxy). Try a different mirror.
If none of this works, attach a copy of /var/log/setup.log.full to yourThis is the log (btw. I have never had McAfee on my system even though it is mentioend):
response to the list.
