Hello,
I am new here, and I thought I posted this yesterday. Apparently it
didn't go through.
I want to install Cygwin on a Windows machine that does not have
internet access. I want to use my Mac to download everything for
Cygwin, then move all the files to the Windows machine with a flash
drive. How do I do this?
Use rsync to create a copy of the directory structure from one of
the Cygwin mirrors. You can skip the release-legacy and the
unsupported subdirectories.
I assume I would then run setup.exe on the Windows machine, and it
will find all the files it needs on the flash drive.
Right. When you start setup, choose Install from Local Directory.
As Local Package Directory, enter the path to the flash drive
directory which contains the setup.ini file.
