Re: Installation problem with 1.71.

["Mehmet Salgar" <salgarm at gmx dot de>]

Hallo,

after this answer, I read all the FAQs that I can see and the documentation that I could find in Cygwin files and tried several times a new installations...

First of all, before an installation I deleted all the Cygwin inforamtion from the registery (if I understand the FAQ correctly Cygwin doesn't need the registry information anymore) still no success....

To be sure that I am not making any mistake, I updated also the Cygwin at my Laptop and it did function correctly there....

Now if I compare the two behavior now, at my desktop during post install scripts, it takes quite a time (at least 7 hours) and I see in Task Manager lots bean shell process that are not doing anything there and hanging. At my laptop, post install scripts take only a fraction of that time (may be 1 hour) but actually my laptop has much less CPU power....

So I am out of answer, what can cause this bean shell process to freeze and what can be the reason that I can't even run a simple 'ls' command...

Thx for the answers....

    Without paying attention update warnings, 


<insert appropriate scolding for not paying attention to update warnings>

    I installed the 1.7 over my 1.5 > installation and then after nothing
    works correctly....


    Bash prompt is there but I the commands like ls, less, etc... nothing is
    there...


    I can only execute basic commands like pwd, dirs and that it....

    After the first try, I deleted everything from the hard disk and I
    re-installed but that didn't help also...


    Any ideas? 


Perhaps. But we need help from you first:
