Thanks Dave, >> If I install Cygwin from the internet and copy the cygwin files to my >> USB, can I later install Cygwin on another machine from those files? > > As long as by "Copy the cygwin files", you mean the local package directory, > rather than the cygwin install tree, then yes. Just run setup.exe on the > other machine in install-from-local mode and point it at the dir on the usb drive. Yes, I did mean the package directory, e.g.: C:\Documents and Settings\rbram\My Documents\Downloads\ftp%3a%2f%2fmirror.aarnet.edu.au%2fpub%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f One more question: I notice that each time I update Cygwin, I get another "ftp...mirror.. " folder. Do I need to point the "local installation" at one of these folders or to the parent and have it pick up the updates?
