This change breaks how I do installs of cygwin and keep it up-to-date. I have a very simple script that invokes setup.exe with the following command-line parameters: --site ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/cygwin --root c:\cygwin --quiet-mode --no-desktop --local-package-dir c:\temp --packages "cppunit,cvs,file,gcc4-g++,gdb,inetutils,libiconv,make,mintty,openssh,gnupg,opengl" Doing it like this has been nice because setup.exe runs by itself and I don't have to remember which extra packages I want. (A next step I want to do, but haven't tried yet to accomplish, is to first download the packages and use a local package repository so I could do offline installations (if I had pre-downloaded the packages). - Eric -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
