Maybe I should have explained what I was up to: The 'big' goal is to have cygwin with OpenSSH running on some low-bandwidth W2K systems for remote maintenance. To do that, I wanted to make a setup CD-ROM to run cygwin on some machines that don't have a high speed internet connection. Then on those low-bandwidth machines, run wanted to run setup.exe from CD-ROM and install from that local directory tree. Since I use wget for almost all the other site mirroring stuff, I thought that would be a good path to follow. Starting setup.exe having that make a download seems to work much better however. --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/
