All references to our mirror have been changed to the correct server however, pictures were not re-generated so all the pictures still reference the old server. Note: Our mirror server changed after the initial creation of this document. We do not run Windows Vista or 7 in our labs, therefore we cannot guarantee that these instructions will work on either version. They should work on prior versions of XP and on XP Home. Note: These instructions have been tested on Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3. For this reason we recommend that you use our mirror to install Cygwin.
While this may mean that we are not running the latest version, it does ensure that the Fall and Spring semester of each school year are consistent. These instructions assume that you are installing Cygwin (for the first time) on a machine that does not already have Cygwin installed. The same procedure is used to install Cygwin in the Computer Science Labs. This guide provides instructions on how to install and setup Cygwin on your personal computer using either our mirror or the main Cygwin site. The pictures below will only be update if there is a change in the setup screens. Therefore, the version numbers in the pictures below may not match up with the current version listed above.
While the Cygwin setup version may change from year to year, the setup screens do not.
