Re: How to install a individual package

[Yin Ming <yinming at mdc-ds dot com>]

But, the version of vim package is too new, it's 6.3-1, but my cygwin is
only 1.9.10-1 ( the version of cygwin package ). Must I update the whole. 

And, from my home, it's very slow to download packages via setup.exe, is
there a fast http/ftp url to download the whole package ?
