Something is wrong with your system: Cygwin Setup only requires a reboot if
something it's installing is already running when you install, and even
then it hooks Windows' RunOnce startup sequence and waits for you to reboot
manually.
On the technical side of what you just said, I don't really have a clue what
your talking about as I am new to all this, and was going to use cygwin as a
learning tool for myself to learn linux without having to give up windows
and format my dirve re-partition it and install a full distrobution of it.
However on the simple side of what you said in your reply, I cant see whats
wrong with my system. Everything is working fine and I have had no problems
at all for a very long time.
Everything is up to date patch wise.
All my software runs fine, including games, ms office, visual studio .NET,
Perl, and many other programs, EXCEPT the install of cygwin.
As I said it forces a reboot when I try to install it, and doesnt put any
icons on the desktop or quickstart.
When I try to install it it, it gets so far then forces a reboot, and when
the reboot finishes and I logon, I dont see any cygwin icons or quickstart
stuff, and I get the corrupted messages.
