Hi all,

I've just installed cygwin on my new machine (WOO HOO Finally) - install
from local directory, package files were downloaded yesterday morning (UK),
install everything.  The post install scripts hung as above, but instead of
cancelling the install, I decided to see if I could just do enough to free
up the issue.

I went into the bin directory under the new installation, and ran bash.exe
with a double click.  No paths seemed to be set up, so to run ps I had to
use ./ps but here is what I saw...

bash-2.05b$ ./ps
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     1260       1    1260       1260  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh
     4004    1260    1260       4004  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh
I    1876    4004    1260       1876  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash
     2172    1876    1260       2172  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash
      412    2172    1260        412  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/cygpath
     2732       1    2732       2732  con 11125 10:40:49 /usr/bin/bash
     3444    2732    3444       3356  con 11125 10:41:21 /usr/bin/ps

As I thought the cygpath looked a little out of place, I ran ps again to
ensure it was still there...

bash-2.05b$ ./ps
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
     1260       1    1260       1260  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh
     4004    1260    1260       4004  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/sh
I    1876    4004    1260       1876  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash
     2172    1876    1260       2172  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/bash
      412    2172    1260        412  con 11125 10:25:27 /usr/bin/cygpath
     2732       1    2732       2732  con 11125 10:40:49 /usr/bin/bash
     3496    2732    3496       3468  con 11125 10:41:23 /usr/bin/ps

And then killed it...

bash-2.05b$ kill -9 412

The setup continued and seems to have completed successfully.  Everything
seems to be working OK.

I thought I'd send in this report in case it's of use tracking down the
issue.

Cheers,

Steve Fairbairn
