All of the data I requested and more is provided by `cygcheck -s -v
-r`, as suggested in the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
"http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html". Thanks to Larry Hall for
pointing this out.
Please run `/bin/cygcheck -svr > cygcheck.out` and attach
"cygcheck.out" to a reply. DO NOT put the output in the body of your
message because it is extremely long.
I do still need you to confirm or correct the following info:
- Your base install directory is "C:\Cygwin"
- The installer (setup.exe) finished without errors
