From setup.ini: > : install: release/cygwin/cygwin-1.3.10-1.tar.bz2 896850 I see. Feel quite stupid now. But still one question left: why doesn't the cygwin installer warn that it cannot find some required files? > Try: > wget -m -np ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/ I just did (took quite some time, even on ADSL <g>) and it now installs more, but still things were missing (for instance cygpcre.dll). Seems one other thing that went wrong: there are symlinks from release to latest, but W2K does not support symlinks (yeah technically it does, but in practice it doesn't) so not all stuff from release got installed. Adding the --retr-symlinks option to wget helps though. Thanks very much for your insight. --jeroen -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
