What are you saying Jason, that a default installation plus the packages mentioned is 27MB ? I'm asking, because it's not really clear from your mail. Yesterday I ran the installer and downloaded the defaults only - which came to 501 MB. Is it possible that the installer is getting confused by my

Re: minimal installation

It's a fresh install that has to be kept under about 60-70 MB. The default install is 500 MB, so I can't just accept the defaults. The base package is an acceptable size at 40 MB - but it doesn't include the extra packages I need. When I add them in it doesn't work. On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 5:27 P

strange problem with cygrunsrv.exe

This is truly bizarre (of course, it always is until you figure it out...) I have cygwin 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) on Server 2008 and I use cygrunsrv for several services (sshd, exim, and named). Most of the time this works perfectly, but every once in a while the services (all of them) won't start. As
