I was installing cygwin for the first time on a Win7-32bit box. It is hanging in postinstall, with "0/Perpetual" and "/etc/postinstall/0p_texlive_prep.dash. I've tried this twice now, and it hangs effectively forever on this step (waited 15-20 minutes each time). What other information could I provide? I looked at the end of the setup.log file, but that just indicates that installation was complete.
Check setup.log.full. If that doesn't help, try running the script
manually to see what happens (most likely a fork failure requiring a
full rebase).
