I just picked a fast mirror, fired up my favorite FTP program, downloaded the setup.exe and the the setup.ini and everything in the release subdirectory, burnt it to a DVD. You can also burn in to CD-Rs but then you have to split it up on 3-4 discs and reconstruct it back home. Speaking from memory now so I may have omitted some file I downloaded from the ftp site, but it wasn't hard figuring out what I need iirc. / M -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
