Hi all,

I've just installed the binary only cygwin today and I'm trying to get
postgesql working. I've had a quick look at the readme and the archives and
I think I've done everything I need to (set
PGDATA=/usr/share/postgressql/data, made sure I've got entries in passwd and
group etc.)

When I run initdb (with the -D param and without), it hangs on the bottom
line of the extract below. There is no disk activity and it doesn't matter
how long I leave it.

Anyone got any ideas?

$ initdb
