In download to local directory mode, try toggling the selector next to
the "All" category to "Reinstall"?

So do it once that way to get the installed packages and then run it again
to get the uninstalled packages.

If you *really* want to download absolutely *everything*, just delete the
entire contents of your local download directory and start again.

It would appear the easiest way to accomplish this is to select download from 
internet.  Then when you get to the chooser screen you have two choices the 
first is to click the view tab until you get to full list and then select 
reinstall or install for each packages - this is sure to get them all.

Second choise is on the category view first click on the rotate icon next to 
All Default until it say reinstall.  This will now download all the packages 
you have installed as you said.  Let these download, then run setup again and 
this time for the All default icon click until you get to install - this should 
select all packages you do not have installed and flag the once you have as 
keep.  You can check these settings each time by rolling through the views to 
Full and see what is selected.  Also on this pass though checked the skipped 
view because I still had 4 or 5 in that view so check them if there are any.

Hope this helps.

Actually, I think that was his original problem. ;-)  If you want to make 
setup forget about what you have installed, you need to remove the files
in '/etc/setup'.  This assumes the OP wants to install everything too 
though, which isn't clear from the original post.

 _That_ is plain MEAN ;-)

 He wanted it on a cd/rw... IMO that implies _not_ installing it.

Here's an easier way, assuming you have cygwin already installed.

I suppose this could be the basis of a temporary(!?) deactivation of
an entire cygwin installation (maybe even swapping from one cygwin version
to another!); here we go:

	$ echo >/recyg.bat "cd \"$(cygpath -w /bin)\""
	$ mount -m >>/recyg.bat

Note that if you have this;
	$ echo $CYGWIN
... check_case:strict ...

then you might have to launch CMD.EXE (or COMMAND.COM) like this;

	$ CMD.EXE
	Microsoft Windows <BLURB>

	C:\Program\Cygwin\bin> umount -A
	C:\Program\Cygwin\bin> mount
	c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
	d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)
	e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount)
	<blah, blah>

 run setup.exe, do whatever you like EXCEPT reinstall.

For ease of restoration;
 do _NOT_ close the bash you have open.
Note - *This* is why you shouldn't reinstall:
 you'll have bash+cygwin1.dll loaded, at least.

Though, FWIW: Closing the bash session+rxvt/console isn't a problem;
all you have to do is look up <cygwin-install-path>\recyg.bat
and execute it.

Given the above _NOT_ closed bash though; restoration is done thus:

	C:\Program\Cygwin\bin>..\recyg
	<a bunch of mount commands get executed>
	C:\Program\Cygwin\bin>mount
	<list of previous mounts>
	c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
	d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)
	e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount)
	<blah, blah>

	C:\Program\Cygwin\bin>exit
	$

...your previous cygwin is back again.

Everyone who writes on a mailinglist that will be archived on net in 
very searchable way shouldn't expose real e-mail address.

This is like leaving your door unlocked while leaving your house/apartment.

Err, and do you really think that spam-mail-address gatherers are so 
stupid that they can't extract mail from <somename at somewhere dot com> 
format..? That's trivial regexp, and so what if there is few bogus 
adresses..? They mail to millons of addresses so few boguses that 
program extracting addresses might create doesn't matter anyway.

  Rule #1 in full effect!

  Yes, actually.

  There's a broad concensus among the spamfighting community that there
isn't actually any email-address-snarfing software out there that actually
does bother to attempt to demunge addresses.  When non-munged addresses are
out there to be spidered off the web and hoovered up from usenet by their
tens of millions, why bother going to the effort of writing extra code, when
the spammers can already get more addresses than they know what to do with
anyway?

  Seriously, it really seems to be the case that it just doesn't happen to
any significant extent.

  Talk to n.a.n.a.e for more information.

Run setup twice in download only mode. In the first run, toggle the word
default to the right of all to 'reinstall'. In the second run, choose
'download' in the same place.

I'd concur, until everyone mungs their address (I can't at work) there's
little incentive for the spammers to bother. It's an interesting point to
consider - why would a spammer _want_ to decode a munged email as this
clearly shows that the addressee doesn't want spam and the only likely
response is going to be Spamcop et al? Of course that pre-supposes any
intelligence on the part of spammers which is even more debateable.

Yet, but I hope I'm wrong.

YJM!
There my be people of tender years on this list who shouldn't be exposed to
nanae, of course nanau is arguably worse. Hmm, I'm going to check for
a.f.cygwin when I get home (or a.f.$DEVNAME...)

Some people may think cgf is a bit tetchy sometimes (normally with good
reason) but they obviously haven't spent much time on usenet.
My favourite is sci.physics.relativity for truly staggering levels of wilful
ignorance and perversity.

Thanks Dave, you brought back some happy memories :-)
