In process. I actually think I have most of it done (it's pretty simple code
really) but need one extra change and a couple of additional tests. There is a
couple thought bothering me like I am forgetting some situation. What I have
it doing now is as follows:
If you have provided a root (install from internet or install from local
directory) or the system already has cygwin (ie it has value for root) then
last-cache will go to {root}/etc/setup and if there is no root (download from
internet only and never installed or packages copied to a brand new machine)
then last-cache will reside wherever setup resides. The part I still need to
do besides a couple test runs (for that nagging thought) is that I also want to
add the code for the case where we already did a download on a new machine
(last-cache with setup) and now we are installing from local directory (based
on last-cache with setup). Since we are now doing an install the install and
will have a root then last cache now needs to move to {root}/etc/setup for
future reference.

Didn't realize this discussion had held up the release. Has the problem with
the Skip/Keep entry not showing up been fixed. I have tested for it so I was
just inquiring.
I am going out of town for the weekend this afternoon and have client work this
morning (don't you just hate having to do that stuff) - so it will be the first
of the week before I can finish.
