I mirror the cygwin directory from mirrors.rcn.net and select install from local package and browse to my local mirror. On current installations, the "Misc" categories do not appear when I browse to my local mirror. However, on brand new installations, all the "Misc" categories appear. I have mapped the drive the exact same way yet I get different results depending on whether I run setup against an existing install or a brand new install. I just tried to reproduce this error and could not :( I installed bash and openssh then ran setup a second time to see what happened. It wanted to install extra packages but they were mostly from the "base" and none from "misc". I know this has been a problem in the past but now I can't reproduce it. Could it have something to do with how I execute the setup.exe and what I use as the base install directory? rotaiv. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
