Yes. I also recently installed Cygwin on Win2k and ran into this. The
basic install just gives you the run-time environment. The solution I
found was:
1. Run Cygwin setup.
2. Choose "Next" at the splash screen.
3. Choose "download from Internet" and "Next".
4. Pick a directory on your hard drive where you want the downloaded
packages to go ("E:\download\c\cygwin\download-2.218.2.9" in my
case) and choose "Next".
5. Choose your Internet connection ("Direct Connection" in my case) and
choose "Next".
6. Pick your favorite download site (ftp://planetmirror.com in my
case) and choose "Next".
7. Go through the package tree, expanding subtrees, and picking the
packages you want. For example:
Devel
binutils
cvs
gcc
gdb
libintl1
make
mingw-runtime
rcs
Editors
vim
Interpreters
perl
Choose "Next". Packages will be download (but not installed).
8. Run Cygwin setup again.
9. Choose "Next" at the splash screen.
10. Choose your Cygwin root directory, whom to install for, and default
text file type ("C:\cygwin", "All Users", and "DOS" in my case) and
choose "Next".
11. Pick the directory on your hard drive where your downloaded packages
are ("E:\download\c\cygwin\download-2.218.2.9" in my case) and
choose "Next".
12. I'm not logged in as Administrator, so that's as far as I can see.
The rest is from memory.
13. At the package tree, locate the packages you just downloaded and
make sure they are checked for installation. Do the install.
14. Choose if you want desktop and/or start menu icons.
HTH,
David
