Yesterday, I got a new Windows 2000 PC and can't get my cgywin capability to work. I use it to do Unix-like commands (ls, cat, etc.) on my PC. My questions are: 1) Will cygwin work on the 2000 OS? 2) How do I install it? I found a setup.exe but when I run it I seem to get caught in a loop. It asks me to choose among o Use IE5 Settings o Direct Connection o Use HTTP/FTP Proxy I don't know what to select, so I was desperately using trial and error. The next window says that it's downloading mirrors.lst but then takes me back to that first setup window. That's the loop I'm talking about. I looked all over your web page for step-by-step installation instructions but can't find them. I'm sure they are there, I just don't know where to look. I hate to give up cygwin but need some direction on getting it back. Can you help? Linda Shepard Sandia National Labs 505-844-5186 -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
