Thank you for pointing this out! It's done correct now.

Looks correct, doesn't it?

The log file has a lot of lines saying "Installing file .....
postinstall ....",
but at the end, when it comes to actually running the postinstall files,
I
see in the log only the following:

2005/07/04 12:33:17 running: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c
/etc/postinstall/cron.sh
2005/07/04 12:33:19 running: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c
/etc/postinstall/cygwin-doc.sh
2005/07/04 12:33:19 running: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c
/etc/postinstall/d.sh
2005/07/04 12:33:20 running: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c
/etc/postinstall/emacs.sh
2005/07/04 12:33:25 mbox note: Installation Complete
2005/07/04 12:33:28 Ending cygwin install

Just to mention a few, the following postinstall files were *not* run
according
to the log file:

cygfile:///etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh
cygfile:///etc/postinstall/man.sh
cygfile:///etc/postinstall/pdksh.sh
cygfile:///etc/postinstall/wget.sh
cygfile:///etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh

and many, many more.

Do you recommend that I run all the other postinstall scripts manually,
like
I did with man.sh?

I've attached it gzipped.

Yes, it does:

~ $ fgrep Administrators /etc/passwd
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
