That message was for a much older configuration. Perhaps the issue has been fixed since then, but since you did not attach cygcheck.out for us to determine your configuration, I can't tell if you need to upgrade. > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html > > Is there any documentation on the minimum recommended hardware > configuration for Cygwin ? If I understand right, cygwin uses assembly instructions that won't work on a 386. But beyond that, if you have a machine that can run Win95, then you can run cygwin (although it may be painfully slow). I regularly run cygwin on a 266 MHz Pentium Pro, Win98 (although I much prefer more modern machines). -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin bash maintainer -- 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/
