Re: additional setup information: still not working.


Hello,
    This cygwin install is a fresh install. If i start it, and select view
partial those packages are all i will get, if i first select another
package, then go to view partial the additional package shows up but is not
fetched.
Dave.

Do you mean you get a 'no packages to display' in the chooser? Or an
empty list?

Did you have an old copy of cygwin on the system? This is the sort of
behaviour I'd expect from setup if you have a /etc/setup/installed.db
file.

Are you able to select 'reinstall' for any of the packages?
