I think the key word there is "does not yet *support*". Run setup --help from a command prompt, and setup will output a list of its command line options into setup.log.full. Play with running it using them on a previously prepared local download directory, with non-default packages included either by changing setup.ini to add "Base" to their category or adding a dummy mirror directory with a setup.ini having a dummy package that has category Base and requires the other packages you want. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
