If you want to update, or just freshly install, Cygwin on a system
that does not have a direct internet connection, then you could try
"pmcyg" (http://pmcyg.sourceforge.net).
pmcyg will allow you to maintain a partial mirror of the Cygwin distribution,
together with the installer program, in a for

Yes
I don't see why. If the directory is duplicated precisely I don't see
how it could matter.
What I was referring to here was to just copy the cygwin local package
directory that contains setup.exe and the http% mirror directories, not
the directory that contains installed cygwin. When I moved

I have win7 64-bit computers set up in another location. It would seem
that the easiest option would be to make sure that one of those is up to
date and then just tar up the cygwin directory and move it. I have also
found that you can just tar up the local package directory and then run
a local

Of course it will work. 32-bit Cygwin was the default for fifteen years
or so. It was the only alternati
I don't remember how I installed the cygwin package that is on that

machine with a flas
