On my machine the observed behaviour was different: new 1.5 install -> 91 packages new 1.7 install -> 44 packages Note that I'm not using a "clean" machine: this is a machine that has Cygwin on it before and one with 1.5 and 1.7 cohabiting. I wonder if anyone has installed 1.7 to to a clean machine? If the base install package count was closer to 91 it suggests the 1.7 install process is affected by a prior 1.5 install, that would be interesting. I hope I'm not confusing the issue. The impression I get is that David additionally expected to find packages he himself installed in 1.5 present in the new 1.7 install? >> As an aside I like this current behaviour: I have bandwidth constraints >> and problems with packages interfering with each other and so find it >> handy to start with a small core Cygwin and add the stuff I need. >> >> I don't know how to extract what the default packages are from the old >> setup.exe: I suspect it's all the Base category packages plus others >> from a list compiled into the binary though I'd be happy if someone >> could correct me on that. > > No, that's not true. See above. Could you explain how the installer chooses a default set of packages to install for a fresh Cygwin install? >> I notice that setup-1.7.exe has a command line interface with an option >> to select packages to install.

I was wrong, the command line interface *is* working for me. I was misled by the following apparently harmless error messages: in cmd shell: E:\home\admin\installers> setup-1.7.exe -D -L -s http://mirror.internode.on.net/ pub/cygwin/ -R e:\cygwin_1_7 -l E:\home\application_data\cygwin_1_7 -q -P joe E:\home\admin\installers>Starting cygwin install, version 2.649 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/net-proxy-host) failed 2 No such file or dir ectory io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/net-proxy-port) failed 2 No such file or dir ectory io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/extrakeys) failed 2 No such file or director y ... proceeds to install package "joe" correctly Additionally I needed the the "-L" flag and was omitting it: Command Line Options: -D --download Download from internet -L --local-install Install from local directory -s --site Download site .... I wrong assumed I could omit -L if I was freshly downloading the package from the mirror and installing it in one go but this is not so: I needed to supply both -D *and* -L options.
