Re: Can I install cygwin from my own setup.ini?

Hi All,

I only want to install the following modules:
--------------------------
bash
base-files
sed
gawk
--------------------------

<snip>


I used an extern tool to calculate all the required modules from the
basic module set by parsing the download setup.ini file and generate
another ini file like:

<mega-snip>


which contains only the modules I expect and their required modules.
And I replace setup.ini with the created ini file. But it does not
seem  the replacement take effect. Setup still run as default.
Is there any way setup will use download and install modules from my
own setup.ini?
It is more easy to install cygwin from a simple module list.

It's my recollection that you can put the packages that you want in a directory, remove the "setup.ini", and "Install from Local Directory" from "setup.exe". I haven't tried this so I can't say that it works for sure but since it's easy to try, you may want to start there. Alternately, you can go the "Creating a custom Cygwin package server" route found here:
