I normally download Cygwin/Setup from work, a broadband connection, and migrate the downloaded files to home, a 56k connection. When I'm at home, I select the files to install. Sometimes I select files which I have not brought home (an operator error). Lately, Setup crashes when it can't find a file. This seems to be a new behavior. Now I'm in a pickle. From the pop-up window showing activity, Setup appears to be checking the MD5 checksum on: _update-info-dir/_update-info-dir-00230-1.tar.bz2 and I can't get past this file. There is one other peculiarity about this file. Normally there is a src file and a non-source file paired together. In this case, that is not true. I don't know if this is a bug but I would like to know about any work-around and I would like to know the correct procedure to migrate files from work to home. I've included a subset of the information from 'cygcheck -c -r -s' below. thanks PS: I did try to compile and debug the setup but, as of now, gcc is also hosed.
