Did you point it at the same download directory on the flash drive? Did
you
select the same mirror?
Yes, but as I said because the drive letter had changed on the flash drive
is was really a 'different' directory if you see what I mean
i.e. the inital download was to f:\cygwin\download and the second time it
was to h:\cygwin\download
It has less to do with where you put the download directory than whether
'c:\cygwin\etc\setup' exists and is populated. If you move to a new
machine, most likely this directory (structure) doesn't exist and, even
if it does, it's likely to be different than the first machine. The moral
of the story? <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.mirror>
