Hi,

In the past I have not found a good way to "remember" which packages where installed (e.g. non-default packages).  Is there a file/way to run setup.exe so that a specified set of packages are installed?

I say this, because the only way I know to clean up the install is to delete it, and re-install.

(I have several times just run setup.exe, and it does seem to update some packages, but as you state, it is not completely clean)

Thanks,
-Mike

Remove the DISPLAY setting.  Update your installation (your cygwin package is
out-of-date).  You also have a couple of orphaned installations of Cygwin.
Make sure those are all cleaned up/out.
