You can set your local package directory on a server, so that repeated installation on various machines don't waste bandwidth. I think it's simpler to run the copy of setup.exe stored on the server. I usually do install from internet, so that the local package directory is updated. -- Tim Prince tprince AT computer DOT org -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
