Hi Igor,
I did a "Download from Internet". Now I have a
C:\cyg_cache with the
1. ftp%..% directory.
2. setup.log
3. setup.log.full
a)Now, when I run setup again with option- "Install from
local directory".
"The Select Local Directory" option, could it be the
same i.e C:\cyg_cache or different ?
b) Why is that the menu comes up again - "Select packages to
Install " ? Would it install packages according to this
selection, I'm about to make, or from the already downloaded
set in C:\cyg_cache (downloaded with "DOwnload option") ?
Thank you,
best regards,
Deepa
