Havent a clean system to try a full install. however on running it to upgrade/add packages the first run crashed . on the second run all was fine and componants were added/updated perfectly. I tried running a few more times to reproduce the crash and on average about one in 5 times (very rough average) it crashed.(see attached drwatson crashlog) for log of 2 of these crashes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Collins" <rbcollins at cygwin dot com> To: <cygwin at cygwin dot com> Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 11:44 AM Subject: Corrected: setup.exe beta (testing needed - really!) > A new release of setup.exe is imminent.
