Hi...

I just used the new setup to download from the internet to my local cygwin 
download directory. I had first deleted all files in this local directory 
before running setup. Setup told me that there was nothing I needed to do. I 
think that setup was looking at my c:\cygwin directory and saw that 
everything was up to date.

But this is wrong...when I am dowmloading from the internet, setup should 
look at the files in the download directory not my install. I download to a 
directory and then install on other machines from there.

So for download from the internet, setup should only look at the packages in 
the download directory.

-------------------------

Also, when I ran the new setup to install from a local directory, it 
displayed the version numbers of the packages, but not the names.

Thanks,

...Karl
