(I'm told that one doesn't need this if IE5 is installed, but it works well at the cost of some local disk space.) One can get wget from: ftp://ftp.ese-metz.fr/pub/tex/win32-beta/wget.exe To use it (from a Win95 system: make the proper adjustments for your own system) 0) enable internet access 1) open a dos window 2) go to the directory to which you intend to download the compressed files/folders 3) issue the command: wget -r -c "....." where ..... represents the URL from which you are downloading CygWin 4) if you re-issue the command, only the files not previously downloaded will be downloaded 5) When the wget is finished, you can then do a local install (d rather than i) using the SetUp in the folder newly downloaded to. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
