It's www.cygwin.com/download.html Even now, I see nothing there to suggest that an "install from internet" would also retain the uninstalled packages. I visualize it downloading a package, installing it, and then deleting the downloaded file before downloading the next package, so as to minimize disk requirements. -- 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/
