I am trying to install Cygwin on a standard Windows XP
set up.
When I run 'setup.exe', it hangs at the point where is

to download the 'mirrors.lst' file. The is no activity
in the
progress bar and I noted no disk or net activity for
30 min.
Retried 3 times to no avail. The log file is included
below.
Can you reach <http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst> from your
browser? Are you using an FTP mirror? If so, try an
HTTP mirror instead. Or try:
<http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/setup-2.513-alpha.exe>
A couple of questions. What are McShield and McAfee
doing here?
I run Norton Internet Security. Could that be the
problem? But,
turning off the firewall did nothing to help.
These messages are no problem. Setup checks for McAfee
because it is known to cause setup problems. As the
message notes, "McAfee may not be installed,...", which
is true in your case.
