Problem starting X

[Harold L Hunt]

Hal,

Which mirror where you using for Cygwin's setup.exe?  (It will select the last
mirror used if you run it again... or look in your local package directory and
you'll see a directory name for each mirror you have used).  I suspect that
one or more mirrors out there is having a problem with getting all of the
packages.

Or, it could be a problem related to the fact that I am usind the 'test:' flag
in the setup.hint without any corresponding 'curr:' flag.  What version of
setup.exe are you running?
