Greetings, Keith Christian! > Thank you for all the work you do on Cygwin and especially the > setup.exe program.
> I saw this warning: > https://cygwin.com/install.html > Q: How do I install everything? > A: You do not want to do this! This will install an enormous > number of packages that you will never use, including debuginfo and > source for every package. > I downloaded the x64 setup.exe and requested a complete install over > the weekend. As stated in the warning above, the download and the > (attempted) install consumed all of a 128Gb disk which also had > Windows 10 on it. > Is there a way to request a complete install of everything EXCEPT > debuginfo and source? If not, it is going to be difficult to obtain a > full Cygwin install along with a successful installation. As stated in the FAQ entry, you do not need a full Cygwin install. Nobody do, not even Cygwin developers. Write down the names of packages you need, and automate their installation via script, if you reinstall systems often. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, February 26, 2019 1:00:33 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
