offline installation

[Jens Haug]

Hi,

I'd like to install Cygwin, but I don't have internet access from
my Windows System. Ok, I'll be honest, I don't *want* to have any
network connection when running windows. 
So I'd like to install Cygwin offline. I was looking for information
on which Files I have to download, where to place them, whether to
unpack them or not, and so on. I am familiar with Linux (just in
case this helps).
I would like to run  XFree86 - this might give you an idea of which
packages I'll need.
Can you please help me here?

Just run setup.exe and select "download from internet", then use the
resulting files and directories to install from - burn it onto a CD,
whatever.

Your mail isn't very clear - if windows isn't connected to the internet how
are you going to download the files in the first place?  I think you meant
to mention you are using another OS for the internet?

I think the simplest answer is just connect windows to the internet - it
doesn't hurt, at least for half an hour or so...
