Re: Fwd: getting the right setup.bz2
If you just want to download all the packages to a local directory and install from there, you don't need a setup.ini (setup.bz2) file. THat's good news. However, it seems to lead to the packages being lumped under Misc as I said earlier. This would seem to make deselection by groups of packages impossible, so is there a way to bring back the hierarchy in a way that finds the files as well? Paul King Actually, I found a way to coax group selection/deselection in a certain way, and that was using the search feature in package selection. I still end up with a lot more stuff than I intended in the distro. It installed overnight and it is has just stopped installing after 7 hours or so (mostly due to postinstall, I'm guessing).

Fwd: getting the right setup.bz2
I downloaded a Cygwin repository using wget -r -T 30 -t 20 -nc , and I seem to be having trouble with setup.bz2. When I use it, I get the packages listed, but the top level tree in the package selection window (in setup) says no packages found. The packages are listed beneath it anyway. Without setup.bz2, I don't get the error, but everything is listed under Misc. Do I need to generate my own setup.bz2 for what I downloaded, and how do I do this? Is there a guide specifying what setup is Note that I already have a working Cygwin installation. I wanted to make another installation on another computer, and going via the normal setup.exe route thorough an FTP site led to too many stalled/aborted downloads.

Usually this symptom is specific to a mirror. When it is not, it is often an indication of something in between getting in the way (firewall, caching server, etc.). If you just want to download all the packages to a local directory and install from there, you don't need a setup.ini (setup.bz2) file. -- Larry _ A: Yes. Q: Are you sure?
