Rather than build your own copy of setup.exe while you wait for this defect to be fixed, why not use the --packages option for setup.exe to select the set of packages you know you need from the command line? If your users would have difficulty with that, you could write a simple batch file to wrap the setup.exe invocation. -Jeremy -- 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
