What's puzzling about that? That is setup.exe doing you the favor of telling you that the mirror is out of date. >All the others I tried (heanet.ie, Dresden, Karlsruhe, Switzerland, >France...) tell me: > > Unable to get setup.ini > >Some known problems? No, of course not. It does sound like possibly you haven't downloaded the most recent version of setup.exe from http://cygwin.com/ though. Btw, the empty mirrors list would undoubtedly be some kind of network problem. setup.exe does a simple http retrieval to download the mirror list. cgf -- 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
