Harold,
I tried pointing setup.exe to ftp://huntharo-4.user.msu.edu/pub/cygwin/ but it tries to connect and then comes back with "Unable to get setup.ini from ftp://huntharo-4.user.msu.edu/pub/cygwin/". I'm a relative newbie .. am i missing something with setup.exe? (I can see that directory with my browser).
-rich
PS: Love the cygwin & cygwin/xfree products!
