I'm just doing some hacking on the product. I don't think Altera is
happy to know that I add extra packages in their cygwin ;-)

See the attachment. These are obtained after I appended done to the
base-files-mketc.sh file and it hung on two other files
xorg-x11-fenc.sh and xorg-x11-fnts.sh. But I recall that the error
message is the same as base-files-mketc.sh.

As you mentioned before, it's probably bash problem.

I have 3 entries in windows registry, which may be the cause of the problem.

Anyway, so far it's OK. I've not seen any bad effect of the problem.
