I experimented, and found multiple -s options do work. I did have fun and games working out that the particular mirror site I was going to use needed to have /cygwin added to the host name, but not /cygwin/x86_64. But third or fourth time, I got it going. Cheers, Nikhil. On Thu, 7 Aug 2014, Nikhil Nair wrote: > Hi, > > I need to do a reinstall from scratch, after my old setup fell apart.
