Hi,
I have been using cygwin for years now. What I would typically do is run setup
to download (and not install) the components that I need and then install them
on a second pass. This worked great in that if I wanted to burn a CD-ROM and
install cygwin on another system. Now with recent versions of setup, it it
will only download new items. Is there a way for setup to ignore already
installed components so that I can get the latest of everything to be installed
on a computer that does not have network access? I am assuming that setup.exe
is looking for some configuration file in my cygwin directory. If so, what is
that file?
When setup downloads files it stores them in a folder something like this:
ftp%3a%2f%2fplanetmirror.com%2fpub%2fsourceware%2fcygwin
After the install is completed I then delete that folder. How are these files
different than the ones in /etc/setup/?
Thanks,
Mike
