RE: Problem with cygwin setup


Thanks for your help Reid, but...

Well, I let it sit for 20 minutes and nothing happened...

Maybe I don't understand you, or your don't understand me, or I'm just clueless, but what I really want to know is how to run cygwin now that it's installed, given that I don't have an icon on my desktop. I dunno, isn't the icon just a shortcut to some .exe, or is it something else? Thanks for your help, but I really didn't know what to do with that big thing that you copied for me.


Anyways, here's my log file if it helps (minus a whole bunch of stuff in the middle):
