Unfortunately when I put this onto a CD and run setup.exe on the
target machine, and pick "Install from directory" it starts to
install Cygwin, and then pops up a little box saying Setup has
encountered an error, the installation is being aborted, and do I
want to send a notification of the error to Microsoft. I copied
all the CD to \tmp and tried from the hard disk but got the same
problem. The CD contains:

$ ls -l /tmp/lily
total 296
-rwxrwxr-x    1 peter    peter       17790 Feb 11  2004 cyg-apt
drwxrwxr-x    3 peter    peter        4096 Sep 23 14:58 etc
drwxrwxr-x    3 peter    peter        4096 Sep 23 14:59

-rw-rw-r--    1 peter    peter      268800 Apr 25 16:03 setup.exe
$

Does that look right?
