[GRASS5] [bug #3176] (grass) cygwin setup dies

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3176
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: cygwin setup dies

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.4 and 6.0

I have only a modem to install cygwin via setup. Every time I start the process from the web site I get through a few dialog windows and then the process dies. I have turned off my virus sheilds and firewalls.

Is there a way to download the cygwin install/setup and run it from my computer? (I have already downloaded the setup.exe but when it runs it also crashes). I already downloaded all the required files for GRASS

from a faster connection. I just need the cygwin install to work and it doesnt from the web... or it takes hours via the web. What do I do? Thanks, Bob at 3k modem speed.

I have no idea about getting Cygwin to install, but from a fast
connection you can download Cygwin & GRASS on a CD and install from
there. See this site:
