Problem 1. I am not able to install Cygwin on Windows 7 x64. I get the following errors at the end of the installation:
"Postinstall script errors
These do not necessarily mean that affected packages will fail to function
Properly, but please check /var/log/setup.log full and report any problems
Package: xinit
xinit.sh exit code 3
Package: brltty
brltty.sh exit code 1
Package: ec-fonts-mftraced
postinstall-ec-fonts-mftraced.sh exit code 1
Package: exim
exim.sh exit code 1
Package: rxvt
rxvt.sh exit code 3
Package: singular-icons
singular-icons.sh exit code 3"
Upon finishing the installation, I do not obtain the CYGWIN icon on my desktop as I requested, and the only two applications that appear on my "All Programs/Cygwin" folder are related to the application urxvtc-X.exe.
Problem 2: I cannot find the application that starts the X-Server. I found the CYGWIN.bat file and created a shortcut on my desktop. The CYGWIN bash application seems to be working.
I am using startxwin to start the X-Server; is this the the recommended method?
