What you need is something like: D:\ D:\cygwin (empty dir) D:\cygwinpackages\ D:\cygwinpackages\ftp.... Tell setup to use d:\cygwinpackages as the local package dir. If that still crashes, grab a stack dump with drmingw (preferred) or drwatson. Also, you might try the 2.259.2.4 snapshot from http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots. It's not ready for release yet, but it may have the bug you are experiencing fixed. YMMV.
