On a computer with internet capabilities, I ran the setup and downloaded all the packages I wanted to a local directory, then aborted the installation. Then I took the directory where all the packages were downloaded and moved them to a USB drive. From there you can run the setup and point the local package directory to wherever you stored that source directory, and cygwin will install from there rather than an internet mirror. -- 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/
