Re: Setup in infinite tight loop using 100% cpu resource
Would using the 'run' command do this so one would not have to start up an instance of a cdm window?
Example:
$ Run $c/cygwin-packages/setup -q -n -D -K http://cygwin.com/setup.exe.sig -l C:\cygwin-packages -R C:\cygwin -s http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/cygwin -P openssh
I'm assuming that setup.exe is expecting DOS style pathnames and RUN does expect posix type pathnames for the command to run.
Thanks
