Greetings, Ben! > When I go to web page
> http://cygwin.com/ > then I can download CygWin from there (currently the file "setup-x86_64.exe"). > Unfortunately this file is just an installer which retrieves in turn > several other files from Internet and remote servers. > Since I have no overview what is downloaded from which server I distrust such > installers in general. > I prefer full packages which contains everything needed and can be > inspected in advance (e.g. by virus scanners) before > actual installation. > 99,9% of all software is offered in such a way. Cygwin per se is a single DLL (cygwin1.dll), not a "software" in a way you perceive it. > Why use Cygwin such a fishy distribution way? Normal distribution way. 99.9% operating systems are distributed the same way. > Is there really no full package to download? Define "full package"? How "full"? "Package" of what? -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Sunday, February 4, 2018 23:54:12 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
