Done. Just for completeness: You can also choose "Install from Internet", and add your path as a "User URL" with the textbox and "Add" button at the bottom of the "Choose A Download Site" dialog. The difference is that doing it this way will create a local package repository on the machine you're installing to, should you want to have one for later when you might not have the USB stick around. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
