Looks like it's still an available Cygwin package but it's old enough that 'setup.exe' won't present it to you by default. You'd need to download all the needed packages at that via 'wget' or something similar to your local disk with the same directory structure as your usual download directory. You could then point 'setup.exe' at that local directory and install from it. If you already have these packages in your existing local download directory, you may be able to get 'setup.exe' to look at those directly by removing the newer versions and removing/hiding the top-level 'setup.ini'. This is advanced manipulation of 'setup.exe'. If you understand this well enough to try it, you may find it simpler to install the packages manually (tar + running postinstall scripts). But that's advanced stuff too and should only be done "if you know what you're doing"(tm). If not or if you're not willing or able to solve any problems that might arise from taking these approaches, you shouldn't bother. All of this puts you into the realm of things not supported by this list. So if you complain to this list later about problems you see in the process or with the result, it may very well fall on deaf ears. Good luck. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
