XP x64 steps?

Sat Aug 20 05:34:00 GMT 2005

Hello--
I'm new to the list. I would love to get Cygwin running on my Windows XP 
x64 system. I found some recent messages from this list and they helped 
enough that I got Cygwin up, but there were errors in the installation 
such that I am missing many important things like ls and mv! But most 
other things seem to be there. The install stuck repeatedly on 
sysvinit.sh and on xinetd.sh, so I renamed those scripts and skipped them.
What I'd really like to see is some instructions on how I can get Cygwin 
running on XP x64. Are such instructions planned, or will a new version 
of the installer just work with XP x64? I used the 8/19 versions of the 
snapshots of cygwin1-20050819.dll.bz2 and cygwin-inst-20050819.tar.bz2, 
but I might not have used them correctly (I just overwrote old files with 
new ones midway through the install).
I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks in advance.
Mike
