Robert, et al -- ...and then Robert Collins said... % % > -----Original Message----- % > From: cygwin-owner@cygwin.com % > [mailto:cygwin-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of David T-G ... % > % > In my playing with setup I never figured out how to tell it to force a % > download of everything, whether it thinks I have it or not, without % > having to manually click on many, many, many packages. % % This is because setup.exe is not a mirroring tool, and 'getting % everything' is a mirroring exercise. Setup is designed to only download Hmmm... Good point; I had thought of it as a "get ready to install from CD" exercise, but mirroring certainly sounds more like it. So maybe I just need to check out wget or rsync or whatever method the site supports. Good enough. % the gap - the pacakges that are not available in the local cache but are % needed to perform your requested actions. You may find that clicking on % the top level 'default' comes close, or even does what you want though. Well, close in some respects, but it was still a lot of clicking. The problem that I faced was that I had a "dirty" setup, and so it kept telling me I had things that I didn't, and then there was the whole matter of the missing libintl1 package (I wish I'd known then what and how to report!). % YMMV. It sure did :-) % % Rob Thanks & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) davidtgwork@justpickone.org http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
