Hi!
How can I install from an ftp server when I can't reach the internet, thus
not beeing able to fetch the list of mirrors from "ftp.cygwin.com"?
"setup.exe" seems not to have the ability to tell at startup which
ftp-server should be used. Any Idea how to make "setup.exe" use ftp
servers without fetching the mirror-list from "ftp.cygwin.com"?

One way, dirty tricks inc., could be to set up a fake ftp.cygwin.com
on your network that serves the missing files..

Do you have all of the files locally already, or are you limited by a
firewall to ftp but not http?

If you can get to the list of mirrors somehow, I believe you can put a
server into either the ini file or the registry and it will use that one.
I also know that you only need ftp for downloading; if you install from a
local dir then it doesn't care about the 'net. You might just use curl
or wget to pull down the source tree, a copy of setup (whatever its
number is today :-) and the setup.ini file and then do a local install,
perhaps from a CD that you make to get it over to this crippled computer.

Might be a good idea to change this. I can reach the internet from one PC,
but not from the other. Would be nice if I could use ftp to install from a
reachable server (not equiped with samba) to install from. Faking IP via
"hosts" will allways work... but I consider this "not gentlemen like". I
would like to see some option to tell setup it has to use a specific
ftp-server to connect to, assuming this an exact mirror of
"ftp://sources.redhat.com/cygwin". If I could specify an URL this would be
really nice!
