Yes, if you attempt to download only with setup.exe, it will use your most recent Cygwin installation path to figure out what packages you already have installed such that they can be selected by default. It doesn't matter that you change the package location to something different than you used when you installed your primary Cygwin instance. > I want to keep that installation, I use it for work - I am trying to > create a seperate minimal installation for diffrerent machines. Try temporarily renaming your current Cygwin installation before running setup.exe. You can then perform a download only action into a new package location, and only the packages in the Base category should be selected by default. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
