Many if not most of setup's actions are recorded in log files in the /var/log directory of your Cygwin installation. Take a look at the setup.log and setup.log.full files. Among the information provided there are the mirror(s) and package(s) you selected. There are also error messages which could be relevant to this discussion. Unfortunately, I think the files are blown away and rewritten every time you run setup.exe. -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
