IIRC, if several packages are downloaded at one time, and the download is interrupted -- a real possibility with several large packages over dial-up -- setup will start over, downloading from the beginning. It might be useful to change setup so that it installs each package immediately after it is downloaded and before downloading any other packages. - Barry -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
