Also, it's not just setup.exe which is necessary for installation. The mirrors list used by setup.exe comes from cygwin.com. So, even if setup.exe had been included in the release area, you wouldn't have been able to install unless you had a copy of the release area on disk. cgf -- 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
