There's a problem, Brian.
I updated my local mirror for a test run.
When I start setup-1.7, it seems to find the already existing c:/cygwin
installation. Even though I choose "C:/cygwin-2" as installation path,
the new setup-2.ini content is compared against the already existing
installation. The result is that setup-1.7 offers to install only
the single changed package: cygwin itself.
Why is setup using the information from the existing installation
even if I choose to install into another directory? Is it because
the mount points in the registry are looked at? That's not correct
anymore, given that the registry mount points are not used for the
new installation anyway.
Is it possible to change setup so that it ignores the registry mount
points? And it must nort write new ones either, btw...
Thanks,
Corinna
