Hi,
Please provide me link or site from where i can
down load complete cygwin software and intall on my
windows 2000 pc.
I had downloaded setup.exe but from my side it does
not connect to the sites during installation. So if
intially I can down load the complete software and
then install on my pc will be good.
Any help in this regard will be very help full.
If setup can't access the sites, that's probably a problem with the
firewall at your side. It maybe that it doesn't handle ftp connections very
well. What settings did you choose on the Select connection type page?
If Direct connection isn't working, but you are able to surf the web and
access ftp sites from internet explorer, then selecting Use IE5 settings
should make it work for you.
If you really can't get it to work, then yes, you can indeed set up your
own server with the entire cygwin packages on it, and use setup.exe to
install from that. See
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/package-server.html
for the instructions, but it's probably a lot more work than just figuring
out what's going wrong when setup tries to access those download sites and
fixing that problem.
cheers,
DaveK
