Outhier" Subject: Setup.exe To: cygwin@cygwin.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-SW-Source: 2002-05/txt/msg00248.txt.bz2 Hello all: I am wondering, is there any way to get the Cygwin Setup program to download to the same directories as before? As it is right now, every time I run setup.exe, I am seeing a new folder added with a name like: "C:Downloadscygwinhttp%3a%2f%2fuiarchive.uiuc.edu%2fmirrors%2fftp%2fsources.redhat.com%2fpub%2fcygwin" Sometimes I have to abort the installation program when making updates, and it's really annoying having to start over, the old way worked just fine. Setup would see that some of the files are already there, and skip those files. Plus, it's much easier on the eyes. I don't care if it doesn't pick-up in the middle of a half-downloaded file -that is, if it just starts the last partially completed file over - it is still better than downloading entire set all over again! Also, this is a minor thing, but is it possible for Setup to estimate before-hand aproximately how long the download is going to take. I mean, even if it is as simple as asking your modem type/download speed, adding the size of the files together, then doing other math stuff, to give an approximate time; that would be something. Then if, say, it could potentially take longer than the user would like, he/she could hit the button, de-select a few files and repeat till the user IS satisfaction... Well, like I said, it would be something! TTFN (ta-ta-for-now) ===== Sincerely, Aaron J. Outhier garlicsalt2@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
