Dave,

Thanks for your quick and helpful response. As you 
requested, I'll keep this discussion on the list.

I'm having trouble using setup.exe. It seems to want 
to download all sorts of software I'm not interested 
in by default. Example: ghostscript, which I already 
have installed under Windows.

I can't find any way to install only the libpng12 and 
libxml2 packages without having to expand then check 
and uncheck hundreds of individual entries.

Is there a shortcut way of setting all the checkboxes 
to "don't download", so I can just download these two 
packages?

(I won't waste space including your message of June 
24, 2008 1:40 PM, since it's in the archive. Why does 
cygwin use the mailing list approach, instead of an 
online forum? Seems awkward, since we have to receive 
all messages instead of subscribing to or browsing the 
categories or threads in which we are interested.)

David
